Jacksons response: "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
In response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v Georgia that Georgia had no right to interfere with the Cherokee, President Jackson disregarded the decision and removal of the Cherokee proceeded as planned.
Yes he did
Jackson's comments on the case are known from a letter to John Coffee: "...the decision of the Supreme Court has fell still born, and they find that they cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate," indicating that the Supreme Court could rule however they wanted to, but that they couldn't force anyone to obey them.
President Andrew Jackson reportedly defied the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which upheld the rights of the Cherokee Nation against state encroachments. Jackson allegedly remarked, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," indicating his refusal to support the Court's decision. This response exemplified his broader policy of Indian removal and highlighted the tension between federal authority and state interests during his presidency. Ultimately, Jackson's inaction allowed Georgia to continue its efforts to remove the Cherokee from their lands.
President Andrew Jackson famously responded to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) by defying the court's decision. He is often quoted as saying, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" This indicated his refusal to support the enforcement of the ruling, which upheld the rights of the Cherokee nation against state encroachments. Jackson's response contributed to the ongoing conflict between federal authority and state actions, ultimately leading to the forced removal of Native Americans from their lands.

President Andrew Jackson responded to the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia, which declared Georgia's Indian removal laws unconstitutional, by ignoring the ruling. He famously remarked, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," indicating his unwillingness to support the Court's authority. This defiance facilitated the continued push for the removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, culminating in the forced relocation known as the Trail of Tears.
Jackson refused to obey the court's ruling
President Andrew Jackson famously responded to the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) by defying it. He reportedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," highlighting his refusal to support the Court's ruling in favor of Native American sovereignty. This response exemplified his belief in presidential power and contributed to the implementation of policies like the Indian Removal Act, leading to the forced relocation of Native Americans.
The U.S. government, under President Andrew Jackson, enforced the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to relocate Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The state of Georgia actively supported this initiative, seeking to seize Cherokee lands for white settlement. Despite a Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) that recognized the sovereignty of Native American nations, both the U.S. and Georgia governments largely ignored the decision, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee in the infamous Trail of Tears.
