On what grounds did the us supreme court refuse to hear the 1831 cherokee nation v. georgia case? a-the court declared that georgia was right to auction off cherokee land. b-the court did not believe it had jurisdiction over matters involving states’ rights. c-the court did not recognize the cherokee tribe as a sovereign nation. d-the court stated that the cherokee had signed a treaty to give up their lands.

The correct answer is C. The US Supreme Court refused to hear the 1831 Cherokee Nation v. Georgia case because it did not recognize the Cherokee tribe as a sovereign nation.

Explanation:

When Georgia wanted to extend state laws on Cherokee tribal lands, the matter reached the Supreme Court of the United States. In the Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), the Marshall Court ruled that the Cherokees were not a sovereign and independent nation, and therefore refused to hear the case. However, in Worcester v. State of Georgia (1832), the Court ruled that Georgia could not impose its laws in Cherokee territory, since only the national government - and not the state governments - had authority in Indian affairs.
