The best answer to fill in the blank would be D) because if Maori couldn't understand the treaty, than it couldn't be fair and equal for both sides than.
The Maori consider the Treaty of Waitangi unfair because "Maori and English versions of the treaty didn't match."
Who are Maori?
The Maori are the indigenous people who all belong to the Polynesian race in New Zealand. They settled in New Zealand over 700 years ago. The Maori people have a unique status in the world as they are considered indigenous people who have full legal rights. They were also known for their full body and facial tattooing. It is believed that each Maori tattoo is unique.
What was the Treaty of Waitangi?
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and Maori chiefs. This Treaty promised to protect Maori culture and enabled Maori to continue to live in New Zealand. At the same time, this treaty gave the British Crown the right to govern New Zealand.
The Maori signed the treaty and trusted the British, but the Treaty was slightly different in English and Maori. In Maori, the treaty stated that the British would not completely take the land but only to govern it, and that Maori would continue to have the sole authority of the land. But this was not the case as the British wanted the complete sovereignty of New Zealand. Hence, Maori considered the treaty unfair.
The British brought Maori's land for low prices, which left the Maori with inadequate land reserves. There were some purchases of Maori land made even before the treaty was signed.
Hence, option D is correct.
