Answer 1

A. He ignored it.

Andrew Jackson is often quoted as having disregarded the 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 administration did not enforce the ruling, leading to the continued displacement of Native Americans through policies such as the Trail of Tears.
