Question

I know it’s an opinion question but I don’t get it. Was president andrew jackson right in enforcing the treaty of new echota and

ignoring the supreme court's decisions worcester v Georgia?Why?

Answer 1

Ethically, he was wrong because he supported a mass genocide. Although the Treaty of New Echota was signed by some Cherokee, they never consulted with the Cherokee chief, John Ross. In Worchester vs. Georgia, the Supreme Court deemed Georgia's law unconstitutional, and since Jackson ignored it, it was a violation of the balance of power between the Executive and Judicial courts.
