USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Andrew Jackson declined to enforce the Supreme Court’s decision, thus allowing states to enact further legislation damaging to the tribes. The U.S. government began forcing the Cherokee off their land in 1838.

Detailed explanation-2: -Though President Jackson’s exact words were a bit different, the sentiment remained. Enforcing the ruling would mean not only deviating from his own ideology, but alienating a state that shared his core beliefs. So he decided to undermine the system of checks and balances and ignore the ruling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jackson laid the framework for democracy, paid off the national debt, gained new lands for America, strengthened relationships with foreign nations globally and issued a new currency.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Supreme Court modernized tribal sovereignty by holding that state courts do not possess jurisdiction to hear claims brought arising on Indian lands against Indian defendants without congressional authorization.

Detailed explanation-5: -Describe the ruling of the Supreme Court in Worcester v. Georgia and Jackson’s response to it. The Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee nation was a distance community in which the laws of Georgia had no force. Only the federal government had control over the Native Americans.
