Acted against a ruling of the Supreme Court, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The system of checks and balances is a system created to keep a balance in all the three branches of government. This system was employed to ensure that no one branch of the government gains absolute power of government.
Andrew Jackson in the decade of 1820's, ignored the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in order to implement his rules and beliefs on the issue of Cherokee Indians. Accordingly, this system failed during the presidency of Andrew Jackson.
In the cases of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and Worcester v. Georgia, the Supreme Court stated Georgia had no ability to move the Native Americans from the land. Jackson refused to enforce the decision and allowed Georgia to remove the Native Americans from land. Jackson provided military forces to help Georgia with the removal.
The Indian Removal and Jackson's overruling of the Supreme Court was a violation of the checks and balances. Jackson was often accused of extending his power as president. He argued he was giving states their rights back as sovereign lands. The Supreme Court cannot create laws and relies on the president and Congress to uphold their decisions.
