The Cherokee Cases: The Confrontation of Law and Politics

THE CHEROKEE CASES is a legal history that examines two seminal Supreme Court cases of the early 1830s: Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and Worchester v. Georgia. Norgren's objective was to illuminate the role of these cases not only in legal doctrine, but, also in the political development of the Cherokee Republic and the United States of America. As such, this study should be of interest to students of legal history, United States constitutional law and political development, as well as to those with a more general interest in Native American and American Studies.
