President Andrew Jackson is famously quoted as saying, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832). This statement exemplified his disregard for the Court's authority and highlighted his belief in executive power over judicial decisions. Jackson's administration ultimately ignored the Court's ruling regarding the rights of Native Americans, leading to the forced removal of tribes from their lands. This incident underscores the tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary during his presidency.
