As president, Jackson supported Georgia in its effort to deprive the Cherokee nation of its land. Jackson claimed that he had "no power to oppose the exercise of sovereignty of any state over all who may be within its limits." The Cherokee appealed to the Supreme Court, and in Worcester v. Georgia, Chief Justice John Marshall ruled against Georgia. Marshall stated that the federal government had exclusive jurisdiction over Native American lands. To this Jackson is said to have replied, "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it." Of course the court had no enforcement power of its own, so the decision was ignored.
