The correct response is:
The state ignored the ruling and distributed Cherokee lands to white settlers.
The Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) recognized the sovereignty of Cherokee Nation and ruled that Georgia could not impose its laws on Cherokee territory. However, the state of Georgia ignored this ruling, leading to the continued encroachment on Cherokee lands and ultimately to the forced removal of Cherokee people on the Trail of Tears.
