Explanation:

Question 13

From the document, the Supreme Court (per Marshall) ruled that the Cherokee nation is a distinct community with its own territory where Georgia's laws don't apply. Georgia's actions violated the US Constitution, laws, and treaties, as regulating relations with Native nations is the US government's exclusive power. So the Court decided Georgia's laws had no force over the Cherokee, and its actions interfering with US - Cherokee relations were unconstitutional.

Looking at the map (with the "Seminoles" label in Florida and a removal path west of the Mississippi), the Native American tribe forced to leave Florida and relocate west of the Mississippi River is the Seminole tribe.

Under Andrew Jackson, the law passed by Congress that forced Native American tribes to relocate west of the Mississippi River is the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This law authorized the government to negotiate treaties for Native American removal to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi.

Answer:

The Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee nation is a distinct community occupying its own territory where the laws of Georgia have no force. Georgia's actions interfering with the relations between the US and the Cherokee Nation (which are exclusively regulated by the US government) were found to be in violation of the US Constitution, laws, and treaties.
