You didn't provide answer choices, but I can explain why it was called the Trail of Tears.
The US government sought to removed the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole peoples to leave their lands and move west to designated "Indian territory." The Cherokee nation fought the decision in the courts. The Supreme Court (in Worcester v. Georgia) decided in favor of the Cherokee, ruling that the Cherokee and other Indian nations were ""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." The Cherokee ultimately were forced to relocate and leave Georgia. They were moved to designated territory in Oklahoma.
More than a quarter of the Cherokee people died on the journey to the designated Indian territory because of a lack of food, clothing, supplies and transportation. So it truly was a "trail of tears."
Answer:
Freedom of Speech is one of the fundamental rights provided to the citizens of India. It allows the citizens of our country to express their ideas and share their opinions freely. It allows the general public as well as the media to comment on any of the political activities and even show discontentment against the ones they find inappropriate.
Just like India many other countries also provide the Freedom of Speech and Expression to its citizens but with some limitations. The restrictions put on the Freedom of Speech vary from country to country. There are also many countries that do not allow this basic human right. The general public and the media in such countries are refrained from commenting on the activities carried out by the government. Criticism of government, political parties or ministers is a punishable offense in such countries.
While Freedom of Speech is essential for the overall growth of the society it may have certain negative repercussions too. People must not use it to disrespect or instigate others. The media must also act responsibly and not misuse the Freedom of Speech.
I am lucky to have born in India – a country that respects its citizens and provides them with all the rights that are needed for their growth and development.
