President Andrew Jackson is often associated with rejecting the Worcester v. Georgia ruling, which upheld the sovereignty of Native American nations and their rights to their lands. He famously ignored the Supreme Court's decision, allowing Georgia to continue its policies of Indian removal, which facilitated the transfer of Native American lands to white settlers. This disregard for the ruling contributed to the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans along the Trail of Tears.
