C.

Answer 1

Option D. It banned slavery in the Indian Territory was not the feature of Chickasaw's constitution.

The Constitution clearly says " The legislature has no power to pass laws for the emancipation of slaves without the consent of their owners, nor without paying their owners previous to such emancipation a full equivalent in money for the slave so emancipated".
