DONE

He feels the Cherokee are being treated as  less than human, with no regard for their  human or legal rights.

Explanation:

The discovery of gold in north Georgia led to the Cherokee Removal Bill in 1830, and whites swarmed over Cherokee land. This made the Cherokee Chief to believe that they were never treated respectfully.

He rejected the removal from their ancestral place despite the fact that, without his authorization, Ridge and a few other Cherokee signed the Treaty of New Echota. They agreed to their removal west of the Mississippi in exchange for $5 million.

The rejection by the Cherokee Nation of the treaty, lead to forced removal in 1838.

the main reason that the constitution did not proclaim all men to be free and equal is because of the issue of slavery.
