Answer 1

The westward expansion of the United States and the executive authority established under George Washington are the factors that contributed to the passage of the Indian Removal Act and the forced migration of the American Indian people. The westward expansion led to increased tensions between settlers and Native American tribes as more land was desired for agricultural and settlement purposes. The executive authority established under George Washington supported policies that sought to assimilate or remove Native American tribes from their ancestral lands to make way for American expansion.
