Detailed explanation-1: -In response, President Andrew Jackson issued a proclamation asserting the Supreme Court’s ultimate power to decide constitutional questions and emphasizing that its decisions had to be obeyed–even though, earlier that same year, he had ignored the Court’s decision in Worcester v.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jackson allegedly defied the Supreme Court over Worcester v. Georgia (1832), announcing, “John Marshall has made his decision now let him enforce it.” The case revolved around Georgia’s attempt to apply state laws to Cherokee lands.
Detailed explanation-3: -In other ways, too, Jackson expanded the scope of presidential authority. He dominated his cabinet, forcing out members who would not execute his commands. In two terms he went through four secretaries of state and five secretaries of the treasury.
Detailed explanation-4: -From 1817 to 1827, the Cherokees effectively resisted ceding their full territory by creating a new form of tribal government based on the United States government. Rather than being governed by a traditional tribal council, the Cherokees wrote a constitution and created a two-house legislature.
