Question

\john marshall has made his decision. now let him enforce it!\
andrew jackson, 1832
what is president jackson referring to in this statement?

○ the freeman v. georgia supreme court decision

○ the treaty of new echota

○ the indian removal act of 1830

○ the worcester v. georgia supreme court decision

Explanation:

This statement refers to the 1832 Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia, where the Court ruled that Georgia's laws did not apply to Cherokee lands, asserting tribal sovereignty. President Andrew Jackson opposed this decision and refused to enforce it, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation via the Trail of Tears. The other options are incorrect: Freeman v. Georgia is not a relevant landmark case, the Treaty of New Echota was a later agreement with Cherokee leaders, and the Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized forced relocation but was not the decision Jackson referenced here.

Answer:

The Worcester v. Georgia Supreme Court decision
