They did not allow the native americans to stay, they were basically evicted.
C. It legitimized the power of the national government over states
Answer:
- Demarcation of indigenous lands.
- Permission of political rights for indigenous peoples.
- Indian Reorganization Act formulation
Explanation:
In 1887 the American Congress promoted the demarcation of indigenous lands. The demarcation promoted the existence of indigenous reserves, where the natives had to move to a specific territory that was demarcated as an indigenous reserve. This act greatly weakened the relationship between the Americans and the indigenous tribes, since the tribes saw this act as harmful. During that time, the indigenous people were subjected to a forced assimilation by American culture. Children were forced to study in regular schools, where they were punished for wearing the typical clothes of their tribes, or to speak their native languages, for example.
In 1924, the congress decided to provide political rights to indigenous people through the Citizenship Act. At that time, indigenous people were considered American citizens. This act was not welcomed by the indigenous community, which was afraid that it would take away the status of the indigenous community as the original community of that country.
In 1934, the congress approved the Indian Reorganization Act, which allowed tribes to adopt their own constitutions, giving indigenous people the right to discuss their territories, conditions for obtaining tribe member status, the possibility of establishing powers, documents, eligibility, among other rights.
Each delegate from every state had attended the constitutional convention which was held in Philadelphia. The main goal or the agenda was to alter the articles of confederation which tended to be weak and it contained many flaws.
Explanation:
Huge debates and deliberations took place in the constitutional convention regarding the continuity or the abolition of the slave trade, representation in the legislature. Delegates appeared to be favoring and also arguing against these issues. larger states demanded for equal congressional representation whereas the small sates demanded proportional representation in the lower house. The Great compromise was signed by the delegates which clearly analysed the power and the representation of the states too.
The major issue which all delegates agreed upon without any difference of opinion is regarding the state and the central powers. Articles of confederation which was initially created appeared to be filled with many severe flaws such as States were given enormous powers to sign treaties and foreign policies with other countries, Central government was not given the power to rise army or collect taxes and the third major flaw is the absence of the supreme court.
