Andrew Jackson famously defied the Supreme Court's decision regarding Georgia's Indian removal acts, which declared them unconstitutional. He reportedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," indicating his refusal to uphold the ruling. Jackson's administration proceeded with the implementation of the Indian Removal Act, leading to the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans, known as the Trail of Tears. This response highlighted the tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary regarding federal authority and states' rights.
