In its 1903 decision in the case of Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock, the United States Supreme Court rejected the efforts of three Native American tribes to prevent the opening of tribal lands to non-Indian settlement without tribal consent. In his study of the Lone Wolf case, Blue Clark properly emphasizes the Court's assertion of a virtually unlimited unilateral power of Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate) over Native American affairs. But he fails to note the decision's more far-reaching impact: shortly after Lone Wolf, the federal government totally abandoned negotiation and execution of formal written agreements with Indian tribes as a prerequisite for the implementation of federal Indian policy. Many commentators believe that this change had already occurred in 1871 when-following a dispute between the House and the Senate over which chamber should enjoy primacy in Indian affairs-Congress abolished the making of treaties with Native American tribes. But in reality the federal government continued to negotiate formal tribal agreements past the turn of the century, treating these documents not as treaties with sovereign nations requiring ratification by the Senate but simply as legislation to be passed by both houses of Congress. The Lone Wolf decision ended this era of formal negotiation and finally did away with what had increasingly become the empty formality of obtaining tribal consent.

According to the passage, in the case of Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock the Supreme Court decided that

A

disputes among Native American tribes over the ownership of tribal lands were beyond the jurisdiction of the Court
B

Congress had the power to allow outsiders to settle on lands occupied by a Native American tribe without obtaining permission from that tribe
C

Congress had exceeded its authority in attempting to exercise sole power over Native American affairs
D

the United States was not legally bound by the provisions of treaties previously concluded with Native American tribes
E

formal agreements between the federal government and Native American tribes should be treated as ordinary legislation rather than as treaties

我觉得B说得有道理，可为啥C不对捏~？
我认为C选项中的exceed ，sole对应了原文的 unlimited，unilateral~
希望一起讨论~~

我觉得是这样哈，个人看法，
题眼decision（对应题目中的decide)在句首，答案就在第一句话找好了，reject..prevent...对应allow，仔细读一读，选B不难。
C选项对应文章第二句话，unlimited unilateral power是Congress的无限的单边权利，而Congress had exceeded its authority是说国会超越权威（这里谁的权威，是congress的，Supreme Court的还是case的权威，都不清楚）已经不是原来的意思了。

好的，明白了 unlimited unilateral power≠exceed its authority，意思改变。谢谢谢谢
