Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Georgia ignored the Supreme Court’s ruling, refused to release the missionaries, and continued to press the federal government to remove the Cherokees. President Jackson did not enforce the decision against the state and instead called on the Cherokees to relocate or fall under Georgia’s jurisdiction.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -However, Georgia and President Jackson were determined to defy the Court’s decision. Jackson’s response was supposedly, “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” He ignored the Court’s decision and planned to use the Indian Removal Act to rid Georgia of the Cherokee.
