None of the above. The result of the Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) was that the court ruled in favor of Samuel Worcester and held that the Cherokee Nation was sovereign and possessed the right to maintain its own governance and laws within its territory. The decision also declared that the state of Georgia had no authority over Cherokee lands. However, President Andrew Jackson and the state of Georgia defied the Supreme Court's decision, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee people from their lands in what became known as the Trail of Tears.
