The Constitution's effect on Native Americans The Constitution had a great effect on Native
             Americans in general. They were effected in three major ways. They are; the change in where they
             lived and what land was considered theirs, what Religious rights they had and/or have, and lastly,
             how they have gone from living freely to living on reservations. Native Americans had many
             changes in their land. In 1830 Congress passed the "Indian Removal Act." Andrew Jackson, the
             president at the time, quickly signed the bill. The Cherokee tried to keep from being removed by
             going to court. In the case of Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia, the court refused the case. The

             they called their religion, "worthless superstition inspired by the Christian devil, Satan." In 1978
             congress passed the American Indian Religious Freedom Act which said: [I]t shall be the policy of
