The Senate acts as a jury and hears the charges against an impeached president. The correct option is a.
The Senate is the upper chamber of the United States Congress, with the House of Representatives being the lower chamber. Together they compose the national bicameral legislature of the United States.
The composition and powers of the Senate are established by Article One of the United States Constitution. The Senate is composed of senators, each of whom represents a single state in its entirety. Each of the 50 states is equally represented by two senators who serve staggered terms of six years, for a total of 100 senators. From 1789 to 1913, senators were appointed by legislatures of the states they represented. They are now elected by popular vote following the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913.
As the upper chamber of Congress, the Senate has several powers of advice and consent which are unique to it.

Which action by the U.S. government did this speech justify?
A. Forced assimilation
B. Forced removal of the Cherokee from Georgia
C. Settlers breaking treaties in the Indian Territory
D. Settlers paying the Native Americans for land rights
Answer:
B. Forced removal of the Cherokee from Georgia
Explanation:
This paraphrased excerpt is from President Andrew Jackson's Message to Congress on The Indian Removal Act that the Congress had approved.
Under this Act, Jackson was authorized to grant unsettled lands west of the Mississippi River to Indian tribes, consisting mainly of the Cherokee, in exchange for their ancestral homelands located in Georgia. In reality, Jackson enforced this act not as a form of negotiation with the tribes, but as a violent removal of the tribes, especially of the Cherokee that refused to leave from Georgia to Western Lands.
In the speech, the President is referring to that act and the forced removal of the Cherokee from Georgia and uses those word in order to justify the government's actions. Jackson sees the government's policies as liberal, generous and kind because the removal was in the Indians' best interests: it would save them from extinction and it would free them from the power of the States.
B. Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, District Court.
Throughout the country, there are district courts. District courts are collected into Circuit Courts (named after the circuit the judges used to ride). The Circuit Courts all lead to the Supreme Court.
Which is interesting is that precedent is binding only in the circuit in which it was established. I am a law student in the 1st Circuit, so I rely on 1st Circuit precedent, which might be different from the 9th Circuit out West. Likewise, I would only be bound to precedent in the District Court of Maine.
Answer:
Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, District Court
