The Indian Removal Act took place in the first half of the 1800s under the presidencies of Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren and directly led to the Trail of Tears, which resulted in the death of many members of tribes in the American South. It was considered controversial because the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes' cause wherein the state of Georgia (which was actively seeking to evict the Indian inhabitants) was told it had no right to force their removal. Nevertheless, the president ordered their removal.

I believe the answer is: Jackson went against the Supreme Court

At that time, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes' because under the constitution of Georgia, the government does not has the right to remove them from their place of living, but for some reason president Jackson ignore this ruling and remove them anyway.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

As magnification increases, the area of the field of view decreases, the depth of the field of view increases, the working distance decreases, and the amount of light required increases.

Explanation:

When the magnification is manually increased, the aperture is automatically decreased and the light entering through the lens and falling on the mirror is also decreased.
If there is not ample light coming in from the objective glass of the lens, the resolution of the image being obtained is compromised as the resolution directly depends on the amount of light.

I think you what to know which one they should do, the answer is the second one. In most health care commercials a company will claim higher quality in a non price competition.
