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.

Land features had to accommodate to their settlements by tearing down trees and paving paths. water features had to be built for trade such as harbors and dams. climate affected how the houses were built such as the material that was used, and what crops they could grow for trade. location affected how the settlements were made such as how the foundations were built and how trade got from one point to the other, being it either by water or land. natural resources affected how much money the government obtained by trading with other countries and such. industries also affected how much money the government obtained and who they go to trade with.
