Why do you think Congress didn't pass John Ross’ petition that 17,000 Cherokees signed?

Answer:

Because the congress was interested in taking over the land on which the Cherokees lived to advance government plans.

Explanation:

John Ross's petition was made against the fact that he wanted to remove the indigenous people from their territories and put them to live in very disadvantageous reserves. Ross managed to sign 17,000 Cherokees, who opposed the forced removal that the government was imposing.

However, this was a losing fight, because as the Congress itself was interested in those lands, they ignored the petition, acting as if it had no value and ignoring the rights of the indigenous people did not approve the petition of Ross and the Cherokees.

poizon [28]
The heliocentric model was generally rejected by the ancient philosophers for three main reasons:

1) If the Earth is rotating about its axis, and orbiting around the Sun, then the Earth must be in motion. However, we cannot ``feel'' this motion. Nor does this motion give rise to any obvious observational consequences. Hence, the Earth must be stationary.
—————————————
2) If the Earth is executing a circular orbit around the Sun then the positions of the stars should be slightly different when the Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun. This effect is known as parallax. Since no stellar parallax is observable (at least, with the naked eye), the Earth must be stationary. In order to appreciate the force of this argument, it is important to realize that ancient astronomers did not suppose the stars to be significantly further away from the Earth than the planets. The celestial sphere was assumed to lie just beyond the orbit of Saturn.
—————————————
3)The geocentric model is far more philosophically attractive than the heliocentric model, since in the former model the Earth occupies a privileged position in the Universe.
