2) the cherokee were not considered citizens and did not have the right to bring a case to the federal court
Explanation:
In the U.S. Supreme Court case of The Cherokee Nation vs Georgia (1831),
the court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction in the case because the Cherokees were not considered citizens and had no right to bring a case to a federal court.
The proceeding was presided over by Justice Marshall who said the Cherokees were a dependent nation.
The European explorers were looking for resources and trade routes, more specifically a quick and easy water route to the East Indies since the muslim Ottoman empire blocked the middle east.
