In which year did the Supreme Court rule on the Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia case?

1825

1831

The Supreme Court ruled on the Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia case in 1831. This case is significant in the context of Native American sovereignty and rights, as it addressed the relationship between the Cherokee Nation and the state of Georgia. The Court ultimately determined that while the Cherokee Nation had some degree of sovereignty, they were not a foreign nation and thus the Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction over the case. This ruling laid the groundwork for future cases involving Native American tribes and set important precedents regarding federal and state authority over indigenous lands. The year 1831 marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal struggles of Native American tribes against state encroachments on their rights and territories.
