Opinion of the Supreme Court delivered by Mr. Chief Justice Marshall January Term 1832. Samuel A. Worcester vs. The State of Georgia." The case is also printed on the first column of page 3. Supreme Court case of Samuel Worcester. From the Brittannica website: <br /> <br /> Worcester v. Georgia involved a group of white Christian missionaries including Samuel A. Worcester who were living in Cherokee territory in Georgia. In addition to their missionary work the men were advising the Cherokee about resisting Georgia's attempts to impose state laws on the Cherokee Nation a self-governing nation whose independence and right to its land had been guaranteed in treaties with the United States government. In an effort to stop the missionaries the state in 1830 passed an act that forbade "white persons" from living on Cherokee lands unless they obtained a license from the governor of Georgia and swore an oath of loyalty to the state. Worcester and the other missionaries had been invited by the Cherokee and were serving as missionaries under the authority of the U.S. federal government. They did not however have a license from Georgia nor did they swear a loyalty oath to that state. Georgia state authorities arrested Worcester and several other missionaries. After they were convicted at trial in 1831 and sentenced to four years of hard labour in prison Worcester appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.<br /> <br /> Worcester argued that Georgia had no right to extend its laws to Cherokee territory. He contended that the act under which he had been convicted violated the U.S. Constitution which gives to the U.S. Congress the authority to regulate commerce with Native Americans. The Constitution also bars the states from passing laws that alter the obligations of contracts-in this case treaties. Several treaties between the Cherokee and the U.S. government recognized the independence and sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation. Furthermore Worcester argued that the Georgia laws violated an 1802 act of Congress that regulated trade and relations between the United States and the Indian tribes.<br /> <br /> The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void. Writing for the court Chief Justice John Marshall held that "the Indian nations had always been considered as distinct independent political communities retaining their original natural rights as the undisputed possessors of the soil." Even though Native Americans were now under the protection of the United States he wrote that "protection does not imply the destruction of the protected." Marshall concluded:<br /> The Cherokee Nation then is a distinct community occupying its own territory.in which the laws of Georgia can have no force and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter but with the assent of the Cherokees themselves or in conformity with treaties and with the acts of Congress. The whole intercourse between the United States and this Nation is by our Constitution and laws vested in the Government of the United States.<br /> <br /> Georgia however ignored the decision keeping Worcester and the other missionaries in prison. Eventually they were granted a pardon and were released in 1833. Pres. Andrew Jackson declined to enforce the Supreme Court's decision thus allowing states to enact further legislation damaging to the tribes. The U.S. government began forcing the Cherokee off their land in 1838. In what became known as the Trail of Tears some 15000 Cherokee were driven from their land and were marched westward on a grueling journey that caused the deaths of some 4000 of their people.<br /> <br /> The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void.

From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Gilmer's career consisted of multiple alternating elected positions at the state and federal level. Of the two great Georgia political factions known as the Crawford men and the Clarke men he favored Crawford. He was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1818 1819 and 1824. Gilmer was also elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1820 1826 1828 and 1832. Due to an oversight he did not serve after the election in 1828 because he failed to accept the position within the legal time frame and the governor ordered a new election.<br /> As governor of Georgia Gilmer aggressively pursued Indian removal laying claim to Federal assistance promised by the Compact of 1802.1<br /> <br /> He initiated the prosecution of Cherokee missionary Samuel Austin Worcester for violation of a law requiring all white persons residing within the Cherokee nation to obtain a license from the governor and to swear to uphold the laws of Georgia.23 Worcester was arrested in 1831 and sentenced to four years' hard labor.4 The Cherokee Nation hired a lawyer William Wirt and sued the state of Georgia in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.5 This led to the United States Supreme Court decision Worcester v. Georgia which struck down the Georgia statute imposing its laws on the Cherokees as violating the Treaty of Hopewell.<br /> <br /> Backed by the Georgia militia and Governor Gilmer the General Assembly dissolved the Cherokee government annulled its laws and passed an act authorizing Gilmer to take possession of the Cherokee lands in north Georgia.6<br /> The Cherokee issue was hotly debated in the gubernatorial campaign of 1831.7 Gilmer lost the election to Wilson Lumpkin. The state seized Cherokee gold mines and set up a land lottery system in 1832 to distribute Cherokee lands.8<br /> <br /> During his second term as Governor of Georgia beginning in 1837 Gilmer supported and expedited the Federal government in the final removal of Indians from Georgia.9 This process came to be termed the Trail of Tears. n/a unknown
