    Supreme Court Case: Worcester V. Georgia

    Selflessly, Worcester did not make the case only about himself and his unfair conviction, but the question concerning whether the state of Georgia can constitutionally force their authority over who the Cherokee tribe has relations with, and who the Cherokee allow on their land, as well. At the end of the trial, it was concluded by Chief Justice John Marshall that since Worcester was “within the said territory so recognized as belonging to the said nation and so, as aforesaid, held by them under the guarantee of the United States; that, for those acts, the defendant is not amenable to the laws of Georgia, nor to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the said state”, thus making Worcester’s conviction invalid (“Worcester”). In addition to the justice served to Worcester, it was now made clear, in the highest court system in The United States of America, that the Cherokee people were not under the jurisdiction of any state, and were now recognized as a sovereign nation that is under the protection of The United States. This was a huge step forward for the Native Americans.…
