Answer:

President Andrew Jackson probably didn’t enforce the court ruling to avoid alienating the southern states. The southern states were full of white settlers who were aggressively trying to obtain Native American land for cultivation. President Jackson probably feared that if he allowed the Cherokees to stay, violence and political tensions would escalate. Additionally, the Cherokee land had economic value as it could be used to cultivate cotton, a valuable export commodity. So, the prospect of economic gains may also have influenced Jackson’s choice to not enforce the federal government’s decision in Worcester v. Georgia. Instead, Jackson told the Cherokees to relocate or agree to live under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia.
