Andrew Jackson violation of the 4th admendment?

Question

What did Andrew Jackson do to violate the 4th admendment

Answer 1

That is an intriguing question. The Fourth Amendment deals with searches and seizures, and most of the time deals with actions of police officials.

If the president wanted to violate the fourth, he could order federal officers to search without a warrant (like Bush did).
But there were no federal police agencies during the 1830s.

Dana is right about the Indian Removal Act. Jackson did sign it, and it did unreasonable seize the land and property of Native Americans -- most of whom were NOT at war with the United States. And the Constitution applies to you when you in the US, whether you are a citizen or not. The government cannot seize your property without due process and compensation.

Here is a good review of the legal decisions around the Fourth. The first major one, Weeks, was made in 1914.
Most are from the 60s and 70s.

Answer 2

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Simple---the Indian Removal Act violated the Fourth Amendment. It's considered unreasonable search and seizure by the government.

Answer 3

He did not violate the 4th amendment.
The indians were NOT US citizens and they were at war with the USA.

Answer 4

Get THE whole story. Go to federal reserve fraud. You might think the us government is part of the federal reserve system. IF so you will be (WRONG)...IF YOU THINK THE US GOVERNMENT PRINTS OUT MONEY AND IS PART OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE (WRONG AGAIN)

Answer 5
