How did john marshall try to help the Cherokee?

John Marshall, as Chief Justice of the United States, sought to protect the rights of the Cherokee Nation through his rulings in landmark cases such as Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) and Worcester v. Georgia (1832). In these decisions, he recognized the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation and ruled that state laws had no authority within their territory. However, despite his rulings, the federal government and President Andrew Jackson largely ignored the Court's decisions, leading to the tragic Trail of Tears. Marshall's efforts highlighted the judicial branch's limitations in enforcing its rulings against the executive's actions.
