President Andrew Jackson reportedly defied the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which upheld the rights of the Cherokee Nation against state encroachments. Jackson allegedly remarked, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," indicating his refusal to support the Court's decision. This response exemplified his broader policy of Indian removal and highlighted the tension between federal authority and state interests during his presidency. Ultimately, Jackson's inaction allowed Georgia to continue its efforts to remove the Cherokee from their lands.
