The correct answer is A. In Worcester v. Georgia, the Supreme Court ruled that only the federal government had the authority to deal with the Cherokees and the Georgia laws dealing with them were unconstitutional.

Explanation:

The ruling of the United States Supreme Court in Worcester v. Georgia, issued in 1832, is one of the most important decisions in the history of American jurisprudence. The president of the Supreme Court at the time was John Marshall.

This case concerned the Cherokee Indians, and their removal from the lands of the state of Georgia. The Indians lived quietly in their lands thanks to ancient peace treaties carried out in 1791 with the United States. They had their own laws and a state of their own. It happened that in 1828 gold was discovered in their possessions and Georgia took advantage of the opportunity to declare all previous agreements void to recover valuable lands and assets contained in them. The Indians then resorted with the help of missionary Samuel Austin Worcester who was under heavy pressure from Governor George Rockingham Gilmer.

Marshall expressed himself by declaring the unconstitutionality of state law, as only the federal government could deal on the Cherokee issue.

Only Henry Baldwin expressed dissent, while Joseph Story, Smith Thompson and John McLean were favorable.
