John Ross and Andrew Jackson
Affadavit
Charge 1: NONE
Charge 2: Disobeyed the supreme court ruling of Worcester v.s Georgia by allowing Georgia to enforce its unconstitutional laws concerning the Cherokee nation, my people, and myself. These laws annexed my people’s land to the government of Georgia, abolished our democratic government making our elections illegal, and then raffling off our land to whites. As stated in the court ruling by John Marshall “The Cherokee nation, then, is a distinct community, occupying its own territory, with boundaries accurately described, in which the laws of Georgia can have no force, and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter, but with the assent of the Cherokees themselves, or in conformity with treaties, and with the acts of congress.” President Jackson allowed an illegal genocide by the state of Georgia on my people. "Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
Charge 3: NONE

The Indian removal act and the treaty of New Echota both violate that statement in the declaration of independance. John Marshall in the Worcester v.s. Georgia ruling states that my people and I are guaranteed these rights. “Congress has passed acts to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indians; which treat them as nations, respect their rights, and manifest a firm purpose to afford that protection which treaties stipulate. All these acts, and especially that of 1802, which is still in force, manifestly consider the several Indian nations as distinct political communities, having territorial boundaries, within which their authority is exclusive, and having a right to all the lands within those boundaries, which is not only acknowledged, but guarantied by the United States” The treaty of
