Detailed explanation-1: -The leaders of this group were not the recognized leaders of the Cherokee nation, and over 15, 000 Cherokees–led by Chief John Ross–signed a petition in protest. The Supreme Court ignored their demands and ratified the treaty in 1836.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Cherokee Nation argued that U.S. Indian removal policies were illegal because they violated previous treaties and were not made with the official consent of the Cherokee Nation.
