Final answer:
The land lottery system was not a fair method of distributing land as it favored the wealthy and privileged and excluded certain groups of people.
Step-by-step explanation:
The land lottery system, used as a method of distributing land during the frontier expansion in the United States, was not a fair method. Option b) No, because it favored the wealthy and privileged, best represents the fairness of this system.
The land lottery system often allowed wealthy land speculators and politically well-connected individuals to acquire the best parcels of land early on, leaving poorer quality land for others. This created an unfair advantage for the wealthy and privileged, who could ultimately dominate local politics and the economy.
Furthermore, the system excluded certain groups of people who may not have had the resources or opportunities to participate in the land lottery, further contributing to the unfairness of the system.
