Your first question probably wants you to refer to these sentences from the Declaration of Independence.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, . . ."
Unfortunately, the Native Americans weren't citizens and were considered less than human. Therefore, the Trail of Tears violates the Declaration's principles.
What do you think about the other two?
