I need to know the current law regarding contracts. Are contracts signed under duress or coersion legally binding? And if this true when was the law upholding this decsision put into place? If this is true would that not make all the contracts "treaties" made between the Federal Government and the Native American Indians null and void. All treaties signed by the "Indian people" where they gave away their lands and rights were signed by People who did not understand what they were signing so they depended on what they were told by the Federal Government. Some were told that in exchange for their land they would recieve annuities, and other things such as different lands and protection by the Federal Government. Would this not fall under the catagory of coersion or bribery? Some were told that they would have to sign over their lands or be forcably removed or be anhilated. Would this not fall under the catagory of duress? Most treaties were broken by the Federal Government. Would this not fall under the catagory of breach of contract which also would make the contracts null and void?

Can any one answer these questions and show me the proof?
