What side in the argument did US President Jackson support regarding Cherokees vs Georgia?

The Cherokees won a court case allowing them to stay in Georgia. US President Jackson would not honor the court's decision. Jackson was soon to leave office as his term was expiring. The actual and formal relocation of the Cherokee Native Tribe began under President Van Buren. Earlier, Chereokees had been forcefully been removed from certain deep south states.


Did Andrew Jackson ignore John Marshall's order in Worcester v. Georgia?

No. President Jackson ignored John Marshall's personal opinion about the federal government owing protection to the Cherokee, but that wasn't part of the official ruling in Worcester because the United States was not a party to the case. Courts only have authority to issue legally binding decisions against people or entities named as a party to the suit being tried. Jackson may have had a moral and ethical obligation to defend the Cherokee Nation against Georgia's aggression, but no legal duty had been established.The only legal rulings in the case were against the state of Georgia. Under pressure from President Jackson, the Governor of Georgia complied with the order to release the plaintiffs, but ignored the opinion about the state's lack of rights with regard to both the Cherokee and their territory. The President declined to intervene.Jackson continued to support Georgia in its mission to drive the Native Americans from their land, and successfully hobbled Marshall by nominating like-minded Associate Justices to vacancies on the then seven-member court. By politicizing the Court, Jackson subverted its power as one of the checks and balances on the Executive and Legislative branches.The sad conclusion to this story was the 1836 ratification of a removal treaty between the United States government and the Cherokee Nation, the Treaty of New Echota. This resulted in the US Army forcibly relocating the Native Americans from their ancestral land under the Van Buren administration in 1838, a travesty later known as The Trail of Tears.Case Citation:Worcester v. Georgia, 31 US 515 (1832)For more information, see Related Questions, below.

What was the US Supreme Court's decision in Cherokee Nation v Georgia?

The case of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, (1831), involved a question of Supreme Court jurisdiction after the state of Georgia enacted a series of laws in 1828 that stripped Native Americans of their rights, in order to annex their land and force the Cherokee to leave the state.Fearing Georgia had the support of President Jackson, John Ross, Chief of the Cherokee Nation, led a delegation to Washington to plead for relief directly from Congress, bypassing the usual process of negotiating directly with the President. Although Ross found support in Congress, it was insufficient to overturn Georgia law.Ross then appealed directly to the US Supreme Court for an injunction against Georgia's laws. The Court determined it didn't have original jurisdiction over the matter because the Cherokee Nation was not a state but a "denominated domestic dependent nation." The injunction was denied, but the Court indicated it would be willing to review the matter on appeal from the lower courts.Case Citation:Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. 1 (1831)
