Description

"The Cherokee Case" is a legal history that examines two seminal Supreme Court cases of the early 1830s - "Cherokee Nation v. Georgia" and "Worcester v. Georgia". Including this study in a series devoted to landmark Supreme Court decisions acknowledges the importance of these two cases in establishing the legal doctrine of the United States. My objective was to illuminate their role not only in legal doctrine, but also in the political development of the Cherokee Republic and the United States of America.
