The Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia (1832) ruled that the state of Georgia had no authority to impose its laws on Cherokee tribal lands, affirming the sovereignty of Native American nations. Despite this ruling, President Andrew Jackson ignored the decision and continued to enforce the Indian Removal Act, leading to the forced relocation of the Cherokee and other tribes, highlighting the tension between federal authority and executive power.
