Which statement summarizes the outcome of the Supreme Court case of Worcester v. Georgia?

History

Answer:

Worcester v. Georgia ruled that the federal government, not a state government, had authority in dealing with relationships with Native American tribal nations. The Cherokee nation won the case at the Supreme Court level.

Ultimately, however, the Cherokee lost their land, because Pres. Andrew Jackson refused to enforce the Supreme Court's decision.

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.

The court case was named after Samuel Worcester, a Christian minister working among the Cherokee who was supportive of the Cherokee cause.  To block the activity of a man like Rev. Worcester, the state of Georgia passed a law prohibiting white persons to live within the Cherokee Nation territory without permission from the Georgia state government.  Worcester and other missionaries challenged this law, and the case rose to the level of a Supreme Court decision.  The decision by the Supreme Court, written by Chief Justice Marshall, struck down the Georgia law and reprimanded Georgia for interfering in the affairs of the Cherokee Nation.  Marshall wrote that Indian nations are "distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights." 

But President Andrew Jackson chose not to enforce the court's decision.  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.  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.

Why do you think people try to predict the future?What skills might enable someone to make an accurate prediction?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Being able to predict the future will allow you to have complete control over everything that happens. This will make everything easy and you will without a doubt have no questions that couldn't be answered. The best way to predict the future is to create it. This quote is credited to both Abraham Lincoln and Peter Druker, two people known for their wod of wisdom and lessons to live by. As far as "skills", well

1. Know all the facts: analysis starts with data. Before you start anything, you need to gather as much data as possible.

2. Live and breath your own space: Understanding your market is just as important. Talk to the people who are smarter than you, embedded in the space, and learn from them. This creates a virtuous circle: talking to smarter people makes you smarter, which makes smart people want to talk to you.

3. Look at things from a different angle: Every once in awhile, you have to put yourself in a frame of mind where you're looking at the situation from a new angle, and realizing that by only focusing on your area of expertise you will miss things.

Which provides residents with close access to high-paying jobs and cultural attractions?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The city

Explanation:

After the Industrial Revolution, the process of urbanization took place. This refers to a trend of people from agricultural communities moving to urban communities (cities). The main reasons for this was because cities provided people with access to high-paying jobs and cultural attractions. Life in the city was meant to be more lively and rich. However, since the 1950s, many families have decided to move outside of cities (to suburbs), as these were considered to be better for young families.
