Answer 1

Answer:

These two:

• A. He felt that expansion of Us territory was more important.  
• D. He did not like Native American culture and wanted to assimilate Native Americans.

Explanation:

The 1832 case, Worcester v. Georgia, ruled unconstitutional a Georgia law requiring non-Native Americans requiring a license from the state to be on Native American land.  In responding to the case, the Supreme Court asserted that the federal government is the sole authority to deal with a Native American nation.  From this Supreme Court assertion came the beginnings of tribal sovereignty within the United States for Native American nations -- that the US government would deal with them as domestic nations inside the United States.

But at the time, President Andrew Jackson disagreed with the Court's decision and decided to ignore it.  He said at the time: "The decision of the Supreme Court has fell stillborn, and they find that it cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate."  He told the Cherokee that they would need to operate under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia or else relocate.  Ultimately, Pres. Jackson intended to relocate the Cherokee because he thought the country should take over desired territories that had been in the possession of American Indian tribes.  This was a step in the direction of what became known as the "Trail of Tears," when the Cherokee were removed from Georgia and moved to territory in Oklahoma.
