Answer 2

The one that best describes the reasons why the Dawes Act was passed is the Dawes Act was passed to open up more land for American Indians and to provide protection from white settlers. The Dawes act was embraced by Congress in 1887, approved the President of the United States to study Native American reservations and partition it into distributions for individual Indians.
