Explain in 1-3 sentences how did the supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia in the Indian removal act lead to the removal and resettlement of Native American groups.

Answer 1

The Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia recognized Native American tribes as sovereign nations, stating that only the federal government had the authority to deal with Native American affairs. However, President Andrew Jackson disregarded this decision and signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830, leading to the forced removal and resettlement of Native American groups, most notably the Trail of Tears.
