It was The Geneva Conference that took place in Geneva, Switzerland from April 26- July 20, 1954
Answer:
Cherokees qualified as a domestic dependent nation and not a foreign state because they had a dependent relationship with the United States akin to that existing between a "ward and his guardian".
Explanation:
In the year 1832 in the USA, the Cherokee Nation tried to get a federal injunction against laws passed by the state of Georgia which deprived them of certain rights they were allegedly privileged to on their land.
However, the Supreme Court did not hear the case on its merits because It ruled that it had no original jurisdiction in the matter because Justice Marshal said that the Cherokees was a domestic dependent nation since they had a dependent relationship with the United States akin to that existing between a "ward and his guardian" and that they were not a foreign state.
This meaning belongs to "the Monroe doctrine"<span />
Breaking down "nature of this covenant"...
<em>Nature</em> refers to the characteristics of the covenant
A<em> covenant </em>is an agreement, sort of like an informal contract
While you didn't provide us with Chapter 19, versus 5 and 6, reading the rest of the question it can be inferred God is telling the Israelites to "keep his covenant."
To answer the question "What is the nature of this covenant?" read the chapter and ask yourself the following questions:
Is God stern with the Israelites? Helpful? Angry? Happy? Does He feel bad for them? Does He take pity on them? Are they loyal to God?
Does God get more out of the covenant than the Israelites do? Who does the covenant benefit more?
How do the Israelites feel about the covenant? How do they feel about their current situation in general? Does the convenant calm them? Inspire them?
