Question

the trail of tears best illustrates which federal policy? (standard ushc.2.cx) (dok 2)
forced removal and violation of native rights.
equal protection for all peoples.
expansion of suffrage rights.
protection of natural rights.

Explanation:

The Trail of Tears was the forced relocation of Native Americans from their ancestral lands. This involved the U.S. government violating treaties and Native rights. Equal protection (not violated here as Native were mistreated), suffrage (about voting, not relevant), and natural rights (not protected as they were displaced) are not the focus. Forced removal and rights violation is key.

Answer:

Forced removal and violation of Native rights.
