The correct response is:
It ignored the fact that Native American lands were sovereign and not technically part of the United States.
The Worcester v. Georgia (1832) ruling established that Native American tribes were sovereign entities and that the state of Georgia had no authority to impose its laws on Cherokee territory. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 contradicted this ruling by facilitating the forced removal of Native Americans from their lands, disregarding their sovereignty.
