A detailed record of a Senate committee’s inquiry into Georgia’s clash with federal law over Cherokee land and U.S. treaties.
This book presents how the Committee examines the long series of treaties with the Cherokee nation, from Hopewell (1785) to 1819, and how these agreements defined Cherokee sovereignty and U.S. protection. It also covers Georgia’s 1830 act that extended state jurisdiction into Cherokee territory, and the ensuing legal and political clash between state and federal authority.
Readers will find the committee’s analysis of constitutional duties, the role of the Supreme Court, and the potential consequences of conflicting state and federal actions. The document shows how questions about treaty validity, executive responsibility, and the balance of power were debated in a formative period of U.S. history.
Ideal for readers of U.S. constitutional history and 19th-century federal-state relations.
