Question

1. what was the u.s. supreme court decision in the worcester v. georgia case?

a. georgia laws did not apply in the cherokee nation and the missionaries should be freed.
b. the missionaries violated georgia law and should remain in prison
c. the federal government had no right to interfere in georgia’s affairs
d. the georgia government should repeal its oath

Explanation:

In the Worcester v. Georgia case, the Supreme Court ruled that Georgia's laws did not apply within the Cherokee Nation (a sovereign entity), and the missionaries (who were arrested for violating Georgia's laws in Cherokee territory) should be freed. Option A matches this ruling. Option B is incorrect as the Court held Georgia's law didn't apply. Option C is wrong as the federal government had authority here. Option D is not related to the case's ruling.

Answer:

A. Georgia laws did not apply in the Cherokee nation and the missionaries should be freed.
