Publisher's Synopsis
Constitution And Laws Of The Cherokee Nation (1875) is a historic book written by William P. Boudinot. The book is a comprehensive guide to the constitution and laws of the Cherokee Nation, which was a sovereign state in the southeastern United States. It was written during a period of great change for the Cherokee people, as they were forced to adapt to the policies of the United States government, which sought to remove them from their ancestral lands and relocate them to Indian Territory.The book includes the full text of the Cherokee Nation's constitution, which was adopted in 1839, as well as the laws that were in effect at the time of its publication in 1875. It covers a wide range of topics, including the structure and functions of the Cherokee government, the rights and responsibilities of citizens, and the criminal and civil justice systems.One of the key themes of the book is the struggle of the Cherokee people to assert their sovereignty and maintain their cultural identity in the face of external pressures. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of the Cherokee Nation, and is an important resource for anyone interested in Native American history or constitutional law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
