President Andrew Jackson is said to have responded to the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia with the words chief justice, John Marshall has made his decision now let him enforce it, which of the following best explains the meaning of the statement.
The statement "chief justice, John Marshall has made his decision now let him enforce it" by President Andrew Jackson is commonly interpreted as a defiant and dismissive response to the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia. The ruling stated that the state of Georgia did not have the authority to impose laws on Native American tribes residing within their borders. However, President Jackson, known for his strong commitment to states' rights and his prejudice against Native Americans, chose to disregard the ruling. By saying "let him enforce it," Jackson was essentially challenging the power and authority of the Supreme Court, indicating that he had no intention of supporting or enforcing their decision.
