b. It was canceled after land companies attempted to bribe politicians.
Briefly: the Yazoo Land Act (1795) resulted from corrupt land sales in Georgia; public outrage over bribery led the legislature to repeal the act (burn the records), later producing the Yazoo land controversy and the Supreme Court case Fletcher v. Peck.
