In a famous Supreme Court case from 1831, the Cherokee Nation asked the Supreme Court to hear its argument that the state of Georgia was violating its rights. What was this court case called?

Georgia v. Cherokee Nation

Cherokee Nation v. Georgia

Supreme Court v. Cherokee Nation

Cherokee Nation v. Supreme Court​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.

Explanation:

The 1831 Supreme Court case of the Cherokee Nation v. Georgia was a court ruling between the Cherokee Nation, the petitioners, against the state of Georgia, the respondent.

In this court case, the Cherokees filed a complaint against the State of Georgia, asking if the state has any jurisdiction to impose laws on the Nation. This was because the state has promised Cherokee lands to Georgian settlers if they settle in the state. The court decided that since the Cherokees are a dependent nation, it cannot make any decision as it has no jurisdiction over the case. Thus, this means that the Cherokee Nation cannot have any legal recourse to stop the state from taking their lands. This case was then followed up by the 1832 Worcester v. Georgia ruling where the court ruled in favor of the Cherokee people.

Thus, the correct answer is Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.
