The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was passed by the U.S. Congress in order to forcibly relocate Native American tribes living in the southeastern part of the United States to lands west of the Mississippi River. This act directly contradicted the ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), a Supreme Court case that declared Native American tribes as sovereign nations with the right to self-govern and control their lands. The ruling recognized that the Cherokee Nation was independent and Georgia's laws attempting to exert authority over them were unconstitutional. However, despite this ruling, the Indian Removal Act allowed for the removal and resettlement of Native American tribes, ignoring their sovereignty and rights to land ownership.
