Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -In 1832, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Worcester v. Georgia that Jackson was wrong. Chief Justice John Marshall wrote in the majority opinion that the Constitution gave to Congress, not the states, the power to make laws that applied to the Indian tribes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Worcester appealed this on the grounds that those laws were unconstitutional because the Cherokee people were ruled as sovereign and therefore not bound by state law in 1831.
Detailed explanation-5: -One year later, however, in Worcester v. 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.
