Evaluate this quote from President Jackson regarding the decision by Justice Marshall in Worcester v Georgia:

Question

"John Marshall has made his decision... Now let him enforce it!"
Question: What is Jackson saying about his opinion of the ruling?
John Marshall has made the final decision to prevent settlers from moving onto Native American territory.
John Marshall cannot force settlers not to settle on Native American lands.
John Marshall is going to send troops to terminate fights between Native Americans and settlers.
Andrew Jackson and John Marshall are going to work together to prevent Native American land from being taken by settlers.

Answer 1

In the quote "John Marshall has made his decision... Now let him enforce it!", President Jackson is expressing his skepticism about the authority and power of Justice Marshall's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia. Jackson's statement implies that he believes Marshall's decision lacks practical enforcement, particularly because Jackson does not agree with the ruling and does not intend for the federal government to intervene.

Therefore, the best interpretation of Jackson's opinion of the ruling is:

John Marshall cannot force settlers not to settle on Native American lands.

This reflects Jackson's view that while Marshall may have made a legal decision, it would ultimately not be enforced without executive support, and Jackson was not inclined to support the protection of Native American lands as directed by the Court.
