The case of Worcester v. Georgia (1832) arose from the state of Georgia's attempts to enforce its laws within the Cherokee Nation's territory, which was a violation of federal treaties and the sovereignty of Native American nations. Worcester, a missionary, was arrested for residing in Cherokee land without a state permit, challenging Georgia's authority. The underlying causes included the U.S. government's policy of Indian removal and the growing pressure from white settlers to access Native American lands for agriculture and resources. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Georgia's laws had no authority in Cherokee territory, affirming the tribe's sovereignty.
