Andrew Jackson's infamous quote about John Marshall was in reaction to the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia. In this 1832 case, John Marshall and the Supreme Court ruled that Georgia could not impose its laws on Cherokee tribal lands.

the answer is D) the Worcester v. Georgia Supreme Court decision.
it was when the Cherokee took a case to the supreme court in which they said what the government was doing was unconstitutional to the Cherokee, and that is why Andrew Jackson said that.
