The correct answer is D) The government believed this would be enough time for the tribal members to become self-reliant and adapt to the farming lifestyle.

<em>The federal government chose to give each tribal member a 25-year deed to the reservation land because the government believed this would be enough time for the tribal members to become self-reliant and adapt to the farming lifestyle.</em>

We are referring to the Allotment Act of 1887. The Congress passed this act also called the Dawes Act, in an attempt to give the Native American Tribes the opportunity to learn how to farm the land and adapt to new customs to live as an Americans. Each family would receive 160 acres of tribal land. The government would hold in trust the title of the land for 25 years. After that time, the land would be the property of the Indians. Some tribes accepted others opposed, as was the case of the Seminole, the Cherokee, and the Choctaw.

What is one feature that the U.S. Constitution and the Florida Constitution have in common
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Both the U.S. Constitution and the Florida constitution both have a Preamble.

The structure of the branches of government stated in the Florida constitution are similar to the structure stated in the U.S. Constitution. <em>(For example: Both of them state the judicial power shall be vested in one Supreme Court. The Legislative branch is split up into Senate and House of Representatives, just like it is stated in the U.S. Constitution, etc.)</em>
