Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between Native American tribes and the United States government in the early 1800s (3 points) The reinshe strengthened as Native American tribes agreed with the terms of each treaty
The relationship weakened as the division of land created ongoing disagreement
The relationship strengthened as the United States gained access to millions of acres of land
The relationship weakened as Native American tribes gave up all of the land they previously claimed

Before permanently settling the western territories, the United States had to consider the presence of Native Americans already living on these lands. Great Britain may have agreed to give the United States the land, but no one had consulted with the Indian people concerning this change. Reacting to the pressure of American settlers anxious for new land, Congress sought treaties with Native Americans to insure the safety of the settlers, and to obtain clear title for the land.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
