The main purpose of the Gwin Act (1851) was to

  b. review evidence of Californio land ownership and any conflicting claims, and then to decide who legally owned all or parts of land grants.
  c. stretch out as long as possible the process of affirming land titles to ensure that rancheros would give up before receiving legal recognition of their land ownership.
  d. ensure that California Indians received some of the land that had been distributed as land grants to Mexicans.

Question 2

  b. the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo had no provisions to protect Californios' land grants.
  c. the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo specified that only landowners with proof of ownership could keep their land.
