Balked at Court Decision

The saying “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it” was ascribed to President Andrew Jackson and its occasion was a decision of the Supreme court in one of the cases involving the Cherokee Indian nation and the state of Georgia. The Supreme court had found in favor of the Indians, but, as the interests of the United States, as well as the state of Georgia, were believed by Jackson to be superior, the Indians were gradually displaced from their lands in spite of the treaty subsisting.
