The Supreme Court played a significant role in shaping the legal context of the Indian Removal Act, particularly through landmark cases like Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) and Worcester v. Georgia (1832). In these decisions, the Court recognized the sovereignty of Native American nations and ruled against the state of Georgia's attempts to impose its laws on Cherokee territory. However, despite the Court's rulings, the federal government and President Andrew Jackson largely ignored these decisions, leading to the forced removal of Native Americans, illustrating the limitations of judicial power when confronted with executive action.
