According to the supreme court why is the indian removal act unconstitutional

1 answer:

7 0

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was deemed unconstitutional because white settlers had revoked the constitution of the Cherokee nation in Georgia, stating that Native Americans were subject to Georgia's state laws, not their own.

The Cherokee nation argued that they were an independent, or sovereign nation, so they were not subject to the laws of the state of Georgia. The Supreme Court agreed, saying that Georgia had no authority over the Cherokee people, who were a sovereign nation. The Cherokee people could only be subject to the authority of the federal government, not state or local.

Even though the Indian Removal Act was deemed unconstitutional, President Jackson disagreed and continued the policy of relocating tribes, stating that they were voluntary. History has shown that, in fact, there were forced removals under this act.

Which item is an example of a primary source?

Hello,

The answer is option D "a diary entry from an American homemaker in 1933".

Reason:

The answer is option D because the diary of a homemaker from 1933 is the original source of a subject that people can write off of and learn about. A primary source is the original source of a subject for example of homemaking. Its not option A because a magazine summary of the history of voting is not the original version of the history of voting. Its also not option B because a blog entry about how Roosevelt is the most important president is just a opinion. Its also not option C because a book about the civil war that was written by a historian wouldn't be the original source since how he or she gets the information from other sources in order to write the book.
