Answer 1

The Cherokee argued they were a separate nation and not bound by state laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, it was a case of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Cherokee Nation applied for a federal court order against the laws passed by the State of Georgia of the United States. UU That deprived them of rights within their limits, but the Supreme Court did not hear the case on its merits.
