Author: Ammianus Marcellinus (late fourth century CE), Roman Antiquities.   The Huns exceed any definition of savagery.  Although they have the form of men, however ugly, they are so hardy in their mode of life that they have no need of fire nor of savory food. Instead, they eat the roots of wild plants and the half-raw flesh of any kind of animal whatever, which they put between their thighs and the backs of their horses in order to warm it a little bit. But roaming at large amid the mountains and woods, they learn from the cradle to endure cold, hunger, and thirst. When away from their homes they never enter a house unless compelled by extreme necessity, because they think they are not safe when staying under a roof. They are deceitful and ambiguous in speech, never bound by any reverence for duty. They burn with an infinite thirst for gold, and they are so fickle and prone to anger, that they often quarrel with their allies without provocation. This group of untamed men, aflame with an inhuman desire for plundering others’ property, made their violent way amid plunder and slaughter of the neighboring peoples.  QUESTIONS: How does Marcellinus describe the Huns?

Georgia’s state government claimed jurisdiction over the entire Cherokee territory and annexed (took control of) their land.  The Cherokee Nation took its case to the United States Supreme Court.  In the first of two rulings, Chief Justice John Marshall denied the Cherokee legal standing as U.S. citizens. However, in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), Marshall held that Georgia could not extend its law over the sovereign (self-governing) lands of the Cherokee nation, and it had no authority to displace the indigenous people. “The Acts of Georgia are repugnant (disgusting) to the Constitution, laws, and treaties of the United States….The Cherokee nation…is a distinct community, occupying its own territory… in which the laws of Georgia can have no force, and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter, but with the assent of the Cherokees themselves, or in conformity with treaties, and with the acts of Congress….”The Cherokee had won a major legal victory, but it proved to be a hollow one, for in 1828. In May of 1830, President Andrew Jackson pushed the Indian Removal Act through Congress. This law authorized the president to choose lands west of the Mississippi for tribal use and to negotiate treaties. Jackson supported Georgia’s aggressive actions toward the Cherokee and had no intention of interfering to protect the nation, even after the Worcester ruling. The president reportedly uttered defiant words “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.” QUESTIONS: 1. What was the opinion of the Chief Justice John Marshall regarding the Cherokee nation? 2. What does the above statement tell you about President Jackson’s opinion of the Supreme Court’s decision and the future status of the Cherokee nation?  Your answer must be in your own words- do not use direct quotes.  Your answer must be a minimum of 75 words.

Andrew Jackson, Annual Message to Congress, December 8, 1829 “The condition and ulterior destiny of the Indian tribes within the limits of some of our States have become objects of much interest and importance…. A portion… of the Southern tribes, having mingled much with the whites and made some progress in the arts of civilized life, have latterly attempted to erect an independent government within the limits of Georgia and Alabama. These States, claiming to be the only sovereign power within their territories, extended their laws over the Indians, which induced [caused] the latter [Indians] to call upon the United States for protection.  The Constitution declares that “no new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State” without the consent of its legislature…. Actuated [moved to action] by this view of the subject, I informed the Indians inhabiting parts of Georgia and Alabama that their attempt to establish an independent government would not be [accepted] by the Executive of the United States, and advised them to emigrate beyond the Mississippi or submit to the laws of those States.” QUESTIONS: 1. What problem exists between the Southern tribes and the states of Georgia and Alabama?2. What solution to the conflict did President Jackson propose?

Two parallel, long wires are separated by a distance of d1 = 3 m and lie in the same horizontal plane as point P. Wire 1 carries a current of i1 = [i1] ×108 A, and wire 2 carries a current of i2 = [i2] ×108 A. Both i1 and i2 are directed into the screen. Point P is situated at a distance of d2 = 2 m to the right of wire 2. What is the magnitude of the net magnetic field produced by the two wires at point P (unit in Tesla, T)?
