Answer:
The correct answer to the question: What was the role of the Supreme Court in the protection of Native American lands, would be, B: The Supreme Court prevented Native Americans from losing access to land in Georgia.
Explanation:
The conflict between American colonists and the Native American Nations did not let up for a very long time. When the United States finally managed its independence, and the Constitution, and government, were instituted and accepted one question that still remained was: what to do about the Native American tribes whose lands lay in the middle of the newly formed country, and on several of the states in the Union, and that where highly desired by non-Native settlers. Treaties were then signed with these Nations to ensure their protection and their independence from the United States. However, this turned into a big headache when independent states started to exert their own laws and power over the tribes whose lands were still within state boundaries. One such case was that of the Cherokee Nation in Georgia. Because the Cherokee Nation was independent, the federal government, despite the treatise, could not stop the state from enforcing its laws, and thus, settlers invaded Cherokee lands without stop. However, in 1831, the tide was turned with a series of cases, called the Marshall Trilogy, in honor of Chief Justice John Marshall. But the most important case of these three in the trilogy was the Cherokee Nation v. Georgia in which the Cherokee Nation is now termed as a "domestic dependent nation" and therefore is under the protection of the federal laws. Thus, with this ruling the U.S federal government was able to set back Georgia´s intent and protect Cherokee lands from further illegal invasion.
