Answer 1

Answer:

Native peoples were no longer entitled to lands they had always occupied.

Explanation:

Explanation:

The 1493 Doctrine of Discovery is the one-sided law that was passed by the European monarchies to acquire lands owned by other indigenous tribes. This law was also used to justify such land-grabbing in the name of civilization and 'Christianizing' them, thereby providing salvation to the 'lost souls'. This spiritual, political, and legal claim made by the European powers was made just as a means to justify the land acquisition. The doctrine 'legalizes' and allows the possession or taking over of native lands as long as the natives were given the "gifts of conversion and civilization" in return. This will allow the European monarchies and authorities to get access and possess the New World. But for the natives, they were no longer rightful owners of the lands they had always occupied.
