Closed-range ranching allow ranchers to turn a better profit because shorter cattle drives resulted in ranchers losing fewer cattle.

Option B

Explanation:

Closed range ranching is the type of ranching where the cattle cannot roam freely according to their own choice. The land in which they roam is closed or fenced which limits their area of roaming into other land.

Since the area in which they can roam is fenced, the probability of the owner losing the cattle is very less as compared to the losing of cattle if the area of ranching is open and not fenced. Thus making it profitable.

the constitution of the united states gave congress the absolute authority over immigration laws

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
