This particular passage makes part of a document known as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that was signed by U.S President Andrew Jackson. The point of this Act was to give the President of the United States leeway to make use of unsettled lands, with existing state borders, that lay west of the Mississippi river, to establish Indian citizens who gave up their lands peacefully for white settlement. One of the consequences of this Act was the famous Trail of Tears, which literally defined the forceful removal of the Cherokee tribes and the death of several of their members as they were moved to the west.
One research question that might arise from this particular passage is how the United States government at the time managed to control the conflicts that were arising between the Native Americans and the white people who were settling inside the territories of the Indians, particularly the Cherokee. This document helps to answer the question as it literally shows us what were the measures that the U.S government resorted to to resolve the issue in their favor and in detriment of the Native American tribes.

The Carroll v. the United States, 267 U.S. 132 (1925), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court that upheld the warrantless searches of an automobile, which is known as the automobile exception. The case has also been cited as widening the scope of the warrantless search. The main idea of Carrol v. the United States is that automobiles can be subject to warrantless searches because they constitute an exception to the principles of a search with a warrant since they are mobile and by the time a search warrant can be obtained from a judge they will easily be removed from the territorial jurisdiction of the locality where the warrant was issued, actively rendering it meaningless. This is known as the automobile exception.
In the Kyllo v. United States case, the suspect was thought by the police to be growing marijuana in his home. Therefore, the police decided to use thermal imaging to scan it (since marijuana plants require very hot ultraviolet lights to grow). Their findings gave them probable cause (a reason to believe that a crime is being committed). However, after this case was brought to the Supreme Court of the US, they considered that using such modern technology infringed the right of privacy of the defendant, as such imaging allows for a view of what is happening inside the home. Since a home is not mobile it was perfectly possible for the police officers to get a warrant to perform such thermal search and thus the warrantless search was unlawful.
The U.S. gained the territories of Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam, even though Cuba remained independent, the United States was given the right to have a say in the affairs of the nation and was able to established naval bases on the island
