B. Cherokee Nation v. Georgia was a Supreme Court case that stated that the Cherokee Nation had the rights to the gold in their lands, and that Georgia was not allowed to take the land away, but also that, as Cherokee was not a state, and so they cannot use the Supreme Court.

C. Worcester v. Georgia was a Supreme Court case that supported the Cherokees and ruled that Georgia did not have the right to enforce laws in Cherokee territory.

Worcester v. Georgia established that Georgia cannot take away Cherokee lands, nor can they enforce state laws on Cherokee territories. It also established that the Cherokee Nation was a sovereign state.
