There were many reasons for Hitler to not attack
Switzerland, as the country did not have any natural resources which could have
attracted Hitler. Another simple reason is that Hitler never felt the need to
invade Switzerland as the whole point of attack could be to utilize the train
lines, supply lines and other facilities to ease up the transportation of
German army with which Switzerland never messed even during the war, German
armies were passing through Switzerland freely, the famous stories are common about
sealed rail cars passing through Italy to Germany. Switzerland played an almost
neutral role during war which could also be a reason for their safe grounds.
Though
Hitler had a plan to attack Switzerland called “Operation Tannenbaum”, which
was cancelled later.

Explanation:
The 1832 case, Worcester v. Georgia, ruled unconstitutional a Georgia law requiring non-Native Americans requiring a license from the state to be on Native American land. In responding to the case, the Supreme Court asserted that the federal government is the sole authority to deal with a Native American nation. From this Supreme Court assertion came the beginnings of tribal sovereignty within the United States for Native American nations -- that the US government would deal with them as domestic nations inside the United States.
The court case was named after Samuel Worcester, a Christian minister working among the Cherokee who was supportive of the Cherokee cause. To block the activity of a man like Rev. Worcester, the state of Georgia passed a law prohibiting white persons to live within the Cherokee Nation territory without permission from the Georgia state government. Worcester and other missionaries challenged this law, and the case rose to the level of a Supreme Court decision. The decision by the Supreme Court, written by Chief Justice Marshall, struck down the Georgia law and reprimanded Georgia for interfering in the affairs of the Cherokee Nation. Marshall wrote that Indian nations are "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." He told the Cherokee that they would need to operate under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia or else relocate. This was a step in the direction of what became known as the "Trail of Tears," when the Cherokee were removed from Georgia and moved to territory in Oklahoma.

Explanation:
Answers b), c), and d) (three options). After WW2 and the Korean War, divided East and West Germany with Russian assistance strongly favored the new democracy of a “free” Allied Germany. In a government coup by Adolf Hitler in 1945, many East German high ranking officials were either executed, persecuted, or at minimum, out of favor with German nationalism. East and West remained divided, even though economic disparity only worsened, until President Ronald Reagan eventually reunified one Germany in the famous address, “Tear down that (Berlin) Wall!”. Leadership was overburdened and corrupt in East Germany at all levels of oversight. Long before President Reagan in the 1980’s (and unlike North Korea), E. Germans fled to the West by the thousands.
