Detailed explanation-1: -Georgia, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee Nation was sovereign. According to the decision rendered by Chief Justice John Marshall, this meant that Georgia had no rights to enforce state laws in its territory.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the 1830s, the Court heard two cases dealing with conflicts between the state of Georgia and the Cherokee Nation. Although the Court ruled in favor of the Cherokee, Georgia ignored the decision and in 1838 the Cherokee were forcibly relocated to present-day Oklahoma.
Detailed explanation-3: -On appeal their case reached the Supreme Court as Worcester v. Georgia (1832), and the Court held that the Cherokee Nation was “a distinct political community” within which Georgia law had no force. The Georgia law was therefore unconstitutional.
