Johnson V. M'intosh 1823

In the case of Johnson V. M'intosh 1823, although the natives were not present for the court hiring  the constitution not only stripped the rights of the Native American but it also left one of the defendants without a right. The case was called on the dispute over land M'intosh now had ownership of, the Johnson Family where related to the late Johnson and claimed the land was theres through their grandfather. In court the constitution was read word by word forming a vital part of the case it also degraded the power of the natives claiming that although they had lived their before the conquest, that they had no power over their land only those who came to claim it could sell it. M'intosh won the case since he bought it from the government.
