Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: President Jackson responded to the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) by simply ignoring the decision. In the ruling, the Court had stated that Georgia had no authority to prohibit non-Native Americans onto Cherokee lands.
Detailed explanation-2: -President Andrew Jackson ignored the Court’s decision in Worcester v. Georgia, but later issued a proclamation of the Supreme Court’s ultimate power to decide constitutional questions and emphasizing that its decisions had to be obeyed.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the decision rendered by Chief Justice John Marshall, this meant that Georgia had no rights to enforce state laws in its territory. President Andrew Jackson refused to uphold the ruling of this case and directed the expulsion of the Cherokee nation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Georgia ignored the Supreme Court’s ruling, refused to release the missionaries, and continued to press the federal government to remove the Cherokees.
