This 1832 Supreme Court case, with a majority opinion given by John Marshall, held that Cherokee Native Americans had federal protection from the action of state governments. Although considered influential, it did not prevent the forcible relocation of the Cherokees in what became known as the Trail of Tears.

Answer:

In 1832, the United States Supreme Court ruled the "Worcester v. Georgia State" case.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1832, the United States Supreme Court ruled the "Worcester v. Georgia State" case. Tribal sovereignty was restored through it, protecting Cherokee natives from the laws of Georgia. President Jackson breached much of the content of the ruling and the Georgia Legislature began the Cherokee land auction.

The Trail of Tears is the name that received the banishment to the west of the United States from the Choctaw in 1831 and from the Cherokee in 1838 by imposition of the Americans. As a result of this migration, an estimated four thousand Cherokee Indians died.
