Detailed explanation-1: -Andrew Jackson declined to enforce the Supreme Court’s decision, thus allowing states to enact further legislation damaging to the tribes.
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: -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.
