Question

what was the significance of worcester v georgia?

it confiscated important native american artifacts.

it forced native americans off their land.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Worcester v. Georgia (1832) was a Supreme Court case that ruled states had no authority over Native American nations, affirming that these nations are sovereign political entities under federal, not state, jurisdiction. The other options describe actions unrelated to this specific ruling: forced removal and reservation creation stemmed from other policies like the Indian Removal Act, and artifact confiscation was not part of this case.

Answer:

D. It established the principle of tribal sovereignty.
