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: -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: -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-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -President Jackson’s reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision was to support Georgia’s efforts to remove the Cherokee and vowed to ignore the Supreme Court’s ruling. He then said, “John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."
