Explanation:

Worcester v. Georgia was a landmark Supreme Court case. Chief Justice John Marshall delivered the opinion. He established the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation. Andrew Jackson was the president at the time, not a Supreme Court justice. John Jay was the first Chief Justice but not involved in this case. Roger Taney was Chief Justice later (after Marshall) and not related to this specific Worcester v. Georgia opinion.

Answer:

A. John Marshall
