1. the major crimes act gives which government the authority to prosecute major crimes on american indian lands?

international organizations
state governments
national organizations
the federal government

Explanation:

• Question 4: The Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3) gives Congress (part of the federal government) the power to regulate commerce “with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.” So the federal government regulates commerce with tribes under the Commerce Clause. Tribes don't have completely free - hand without federal oversight (as per federal - tribal relations laws), states don't have the sole power to regulate commerce with tribes (it's a federal - level power under the Commerce Clause), and it's not just about foreign trade for federal regulation with tribes.
• Question 5: The Major Crimes Act (1885) was passed by the U.S. federal government. It gives the federal government the authority to prosecute major crimes (such as murder, manslaughter, rape, etc.) committed on American Indian lands. International organizations don't have this authority over U.S. Indian lands, state governments have limited authority compared to the federal government in this context (as per the Major Crimes Act), and “national organizations” is a too - vague term (the relevant entity is the federal government).

Answer:

1. The federal government regulates commerce with tribes under the Commerce Clause.
2. The federal government.
