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.

25) What did President Roosevelt to aid Panama in becoming an independent country?
kherson [118]

A)He placed warships around Panama to block sea lanes.

Explanation:

  • Using the excuse that the rumors are true that Nicaragua intends to invade northern Panama, the official Bogotá sends a military battalion, which is not only slowed down to Panama City thanks to the leadership of the Panamanian railway, but also to the command of the separatists.
  • However, the troops of the Revolutionary Junta were under the watchful eye of the USS Nashville, commanded by John Hubbard, who helped bring Colombian troops to Panama later.
  • Colombia proclaims independence from Colombia on November 3, 1903, and a day later Demetrio Brid, president of the Panama Self-governing Council, becomes the de facto president of the independent state, with Gerera as Panama's first constitutional president next year.
