The Indians [living] within the United States are so far independent that they live under their own customs, and not under the laws of the United States; that their rights upon the lands where they inhabit or hunt are secured to them by boundaries defined in [friendly] treaties between the United States and themselves; and that whenever those boundaries [are changed, they will] receive from the United States ample [payment] for . . . the land ceded by them. –Henry Clay, 1830

What reason does Clay use to support his argument?

American Indians are not required to obey the laws of the United States.
American Indians refused to sign treaties with the US government.
American Indians pay taxes like all other citizens of the United States.
American Indians voted in the last election and should be given respect.
