D. Everyone who entered the lottery had an equal chance of being chosen

Explanation:

Land lotteries were more just and promising because they allowed all participants to have the same chance of getting land (which was mostly stolen from Native Americans). This system only allowed the participation of male and white citizens, not allowing widows and orphans to participate. The land drawn had different sizes and people could not choose which land they wanted, since this was decided from a lottery, as a lottery should be. In this way, these systems managed to distribute a large number of lands among new settlers and allowed this distribution to be more just and have less space for corruption.
