How did the Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia and the Indian Removal Act lead to the removal and resettlement of Native American groups 2-3 sentences

Answer 1

The Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) ruled that the state of Georgia could not impose its laws on Cherokee tribal lands, affirming the sovereignty of Native American nations. However, the Indian Removal Act of 1830, championed by President Andrew Jackson, prioritized land acquisition for white settlers and facilitated the forced relocation of Native American groups, despite the Court's ruling. This contradiction between judicial authority and executive actions ultimately led to the tragic removal and resettlement of thousands of Native Americans, notably exemplified by the Trail of Tears.
