Detailed explanation-1: -In Worcester v. Georgia, the court struck down Georgia’s extension laws. In the majority opinion Marshall wrote that the Indian nations were “distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights” and that the United States had acknowledged as much in several treaties with the Cherokees.
Detailed explanation-2: -5–1 decision for Worcester In an opinion delivered by Chief Justice John Marshall, the Court held that the Georgia act, under which Worcester was prosecuted, violated the Constitution, treaties, and laws of the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -Georgia, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on March 3, 1832, held (5–1) that the states did not have the right to impose regulations on Native American land.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Marshall ruled that the Cherokee had “an unquestionable right” to their lands, but they were “not a foreign state, in the sense of the Constitution” but rather a “domestic, dependent nation” and so could not sue in a United States court over Georgia’s voiding their right to self-rule.
