Worcester V. Georgia (1832)
Worcester v. Georgia (1832)
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.
There was nothing to actually enforce. Georgia complied with the Court's ruling not to treat directly with the Native American Nations. Within four years, though, the Trail of Tears would begin, which expelled most of the Cherokee from Georgia anyway.
John Marshall was Chief Justice and presided over the court in the Worcester v. Georgia ruling, on March 3, 1832.For more information about Worcester v. Georgia, see Related Questions, below.

Jackson ignored Worcester v. Georgia. This was significant because Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court's decision which said that Georgia couldn't make laws that broke the terms on the authority of which the Cherokee's have the right to govern themselves on. Many people ask can he ignore the Supreme Court? Or, Why didn't the Supreme Court do anything about it? And do you know what I would say. idk. :)
