On what grounds did the US Supreme Court refuse to hear the 1831 Cherokee Nation v. Georgia case?

C- The court did not recognize the Cherokee tribe as a sovereign nation.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court Case of Cherokee nation v. Georgia of 1831 was a case between the two parties after the Cherokee nation asked for the court to pass a federal injunction against the Georgian government and prevent it from acquiring lands that belong to them (The Cherokees). This case was denied as the court rules that the Cherokees were not an independent nation of its own and the court thus, cannot make any ruling over the issue.

The Cherokee Nation has been the residence of the people for ages. So, when the government of Georgia passed a law that allows people to have power or rights within the lands of the Cherokee people, the Cherokees began to fight back, resulting in the court case. But the Supreme Court denied the case, stating that the court had no jurisdiction over the dependent nation, referring to their relationship as something akin to "a ward and his guardian", thus refusing to pass any law or judgment to stop the Georgian government's intrusion into their lands. It stated that the Cherokees were a dependent people and thus, not free from any sovereignty or authority of the United States and its law.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
