User:Candicephillips/Cherokee Nation v. Georgia

The Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) was a case held by the United States Supreme Court. Laws were passed by Georgia that took away rights from the Cherokee Nation and they sought out an injunction to overturn the unjust laws. The Supreme Court, however, did not adhere to the case and ruled that there was no original jurisdiction. Chief Justice Marshall of the Cherokee nation felt as if though they were a "ward to its guardian."
