What happened to Cherokee who refused to honor their removal treaty with the United States? The state of Georgia forced them to sell their lands to prospectors. They brought another lawsuit before the Supreme Court, but lost. The US Army rounded them up and forced them to march west. They wrote their own constitution so they could remain in Georgia.

the Us forced them off their lands and forced them to head west where there was free land and no one wanted it. but later on we figured out that wasn't nice and gave them reservations and money...

The correct answer is alternative D) "They wrote their own constitution so they could remain in Georgia."

The Cherokee was a Native American Tribe, that had to move away from their territory due to the Indian Removal Act.

The Cherokee resisted it, and in 1827 they adopted their own constitution, in an attempt to retain their territory and stay in Georgia.

For this reason, the correct answer is alternative D) "They wrote their own constitution so they could remain in Georgia."
