Answer 1

Georgia and President Andrew Jackson ignored the Worcester Decision and refused to enforce it, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee.

Step-by-step explanation:

In response to the Worcester Decision, Georgia and President Andrew Jackson ignored the decision and refused to enforce it. Despite the ruling in favor of the Cherokee and the recognition of their sovereign rights by Chief Justice John Marshall, Georgia continued to pressure the Cherokee to migrate. This eventually led to the forced removal of the Cherokee, known as the Trail of Tears, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee people.
