No, President Andrew Jackson did not honor the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which stated that the state had no legal authority to remove Native Americans from their lands. Instead, Jackson reportedly defied the Court, leading to the continued enforcement of the Indian Removal Act and the forced relocation of Native Americans, most notably through the Trail of Tears. This disregard for the ruling exemplified the conflicts between the executive branch and the judiciary during Jackson's presidency.
