Question

How did the Indian Removal Act of 1830 go against the Worcester v. Georgia ruling?

Answer 1

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 went against the Worcester v. Georgia ruling by allowing the federal government to forcibly remove Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States and relocate them to lands west of the Mississippi River. This act was in direct violation of the ruling in Worcester v. Georgia, which stated that Native American tribes were "domestic dependent nations" and that the federal government had no authority to interfere in their affairs.
