Can somebody explain me the details of this passage in simple language?
I struggled to understand the sentence below.
"In his study of the Lone
Wolf case, Blue Clark properly
emphasizes the Court’s assertion
(10) of a virtually unlimited unilateral power
of Congress (the House of Represen-
tatives and the Senate) over Native
American affairs. "
Does this mean that Clark is pointing that the Congress (Senate and HOR) has used its law-making power unjustly against the tribes??
For “unlimited unilateral power”, we should first see the meaning of “unilateral”:
(of an action or decision)performed by or affecting only one person, group, or country involved in a situation, without the agreement of another or the other
Its meaning is similar to “unlimited one-side power”,
So yes, it indeed does saying that“Clark is pointing that the Congress (Senate and HOR) has used its law-making power unjustly against the tribes”
