Explanation:

Question 13

The document for Worcester vs. Georgia 1828 states that the Cherokee nation is a distinct community with its own territory where Georgia's laws don't apply. The Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee Nation is a sovereign entity, and Georgia's laws interfering with it are unconstitutional as the US government has exclusive authority over US - Cherokee relations.

From historical knowledge and the context of Native American relocation (like the Trail of Tears), the Native American tribe forced to leave Florida and relocate west of the Mississippi River is the Seminole tribe. The map (related to Native American relocation) would show the Seminole as one of the tribes relocated from Florida.

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 President to negotiate treaties for the removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to areas west of the Mississippi River.

Answer:

The Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee Nation is a sovereign (distinct) community with its own territory, Georgia's laws have no force within Cherokee territory, and Georgia's actions interfering with US - Cherokee relations (regulated by the US government per the Constitution) are unconstitutional.
