John Marshall was the fourth Chief Justice of the United States, serving from 1801 to 1835. He is known for establishing the principle of judicial review and for his influential rulings that strengthened the power of the Supreme Court. In the case of Worcester v. Georgia (1832), Marshall ruled that the state of Georgia could not impose its laws on Native American lands, affirming the sovereignty of Native American nations. However, despite this ruling, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was still implemented, leading to the forced removal of many Native Americans from their ancestral lands.
In the court case Worcester v. Georgia, Marshall ruled that Jackson's Indian Removal Act was unconstitutional and that he should abolish it immediately. Jackson said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" and completely ignored Marshall's orders. This caused hatred between the two men.
Yes, on the Indian Removal Act. Jackson said that the Indians should be removed to prevent any possible conflicts, and Marshall said that the Indians are on their own land, and no one can go on it.
President Andrew Jackson was the official who approved of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. There were five major tribes: the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole. The Cherokee challenged the Indian Removal Act in the courts of the United States. It made its way up to the Supreme Court where it went under the supervision of John Marshall. He ruled the favor to the Cherokee. Note the Supreme Court could make the ruling but cannot enforce it, only the executive branch (the president) has the power to do so. The president at that time, Andrew Jackson ignored the decision of the Supreme Court and stilled removed the Indians from their land.
In this ruling, John Marshall asserted that the Supreme Court has the authority of judicial review, which allows it to invalidate laws and executive actions that are deemed unconstitutional. This principle established the Supreme Court as a key arbiter of the Constitution, reinforcing its role in maintaining the balance of power among the branches of government. Marshall's decision underscored the judiciary's responsibility to ensure that no law contravenes the Constitution, thereby solidifying its influence in American governance.
In favor of Worester as the United States Condition recognized the Cherokee nation as its own sovereign ruling body, Georgia's act was unconstitutional.

Andrew Jackson famously defied the Supreme Court's decision regarding the unconstitutionality of Georgia's Indian removal laws. He reportedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," implying that he would not take action to uphold the ruling. This response exemplified his commitment to Indian removal policies, leading to the forced relocation of Native American tribes, most notably the Trail of Tears. Jackson’s actions highlighted the tension between the executive branch and the judiciary during his presidency.

John Marshall
The Cherokee went to the supreme court and won but Andrew Jackson didn't listen to the ruling because john Marshall couldn't enforce the ruling.
John C. Calhon
Yes, he supported Andrew Jackson
He didn't. Chief Justice John Marshall opposed the federal government removing the Cherokee from their land, but never had an opportunity to hear a case against the United States in which the Supreme Court had appropriate jurisdiction to issue a ruling.
