Answer 1

True. President Andrew Jackson did indeed refuse to enforce the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia, which ruled that the state of Georgia could not impose its laws on Cherokee tribal lands. Jackson's lack of support for the Court's ruling is often summarized in the adage that he allegedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it."
