Question

What did the Supreme Court decide in the case Worcester v. Georgia? Why was this decision important?

Answer 1

Georgia, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on March 3, 1832, held that the states did not have the right to impose regulations on Native American land. It was important because the court held that the Georgia criminal statute that prohibited non-Native Americans from being present on Native American lands without a license from the state was unconstitutional.
