Answer 1

In the case of Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee Nation had a right to their land, and that the State of Georgia did not have the authority to impose its laws on them or to force their relocation. This decision affirmed the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation, but it was largely ignored by the state of Georgia and the federal government.
