The correct answer is **D. it ignored the fact that Native American lands were sovereign and not technically part of the United States.** The Worcester v. Georgia ruling in 1832 determined that Native American tribes had sovereign rights to their lands and that the state of Georgia did not have the authority to impose its laws on them. The Indian Removal Act of 1830, however, led to the forced removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, disregarding their status as sovereign nations as recognized by the Supreme Court in the Worcester decision.
