supreme court case Worcester v. Georgia what was the outcome of their decision
The outcome of the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia (1832) was a decision in favor of the Cherokee nation. Chief Justice John Marshall, writing for the majority, ruled that the state of Georgia could not enforce its laws within Cherokee territory, as it violated the sovereign rights of the Cherokee Nation. Marshall held that only the federal government had the authority to deal with Native American tribes, and that Georgia's actions were unconstitutional.
Despite the ruling, President Andrew Jackson and the state of Georgia refused to comply with the Supreme Court's decision. This decision highlighted the limitations of the Supreme Court in enforcing its rulings and ultimately led to the forced removal of the Cherokee people from their ancestral lands in what became known as the Trail of Tears.
