Worcester v. Georgia, 31 US 515 (1832)
In Worcester v. Georgia, the US Supreme Court decided the states (in this case, Georgia) had no right to redraw the boundaries of Native American territories, or to require white people to purchase a license to live on the land. As a result, the lower court decision convicting eleven missionaries of violating state law by refusing to purchase a permit to live on Cherokee land was reversed.
The seven-member Supreme Court, lead by Chief Justice John Marshall, voted 6-1 on March 3, 1832, to overturn the missionaries' convictions.
Majority: John Marshall joined by William Johnson, Gabriel Duvall, Joseph Story, and Smith Thompson.
Concurrence: John McLean
Dissent: Henry Baldwin
