Fun fact, Jackson directly defied the rulings of the Supreme Court in order to continue oppressing natives.

They decided Georgia wasn't in its right to kill/relocate the Cherokee Indians, and Andrew Jackson replied, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" And went ahead with what he was doing anyways, since hey, he had control of the military.
