**Q9:** The correct answer is: **The state ignored the ruling and distributed Cherokee lands to white settlers.**

The Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) ruled that the state of Georgia did not have the authority to impose its laws within the Cherokee territory. However, the state of Georgia ignored this ruling, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee people and the distribution of their lands to white settlers, which is often referred to as the Trail of Tears.
