In response to the Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia, President Andrew Jackson is famously quoted as saying, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." This statement indicates Jackson's refusal to enforce the Court's ruling, which declared that the state of Georgia did not have the authority to regulate the Cherokee Nation or interfere with their lands. Jackson's response has been interpreted as a display of his strong belief in states' rights and his determination to support the interests of white settlers.
