believed that land ownership was a right given to each

adult by their birth.

B. The Native Americans believed that land could never

be owned by any human while the Europeans believed

humans could buy and sell land.

Answer 1

The answer is B: The Native Americans believed that land could never be owned by any human while the Europeans believed humans could buy and sell land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Native Americans believe that land couldn't be (or shouldn't be) owned by a person because the land was a gift to all humankind. In this way, land couldn't be sold or divided, only shared. Native Americans didn't have the concept of market and trade. On the other hand, in order to support their economical conceptions, Europeans saw the land as a profitable gift. The idea that God gave to them the right to explore other countries (an idea that was not so strange in the 16th and 17th centuries), increased their greed.
