The correct response is:

It ignored that fact that Native American lands were sovereign and not technically part of the United States.

The Worcester v. Georgia ruling established that Native American nations were distinct, sovereign entities, and that state laws could not be enforced in their territories. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 disregarded this ruling by facilitating the removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, asserting federal authority over these sovereign nations.
