Answer:  Because President Andrew Jackson refused to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling.

History/details:

The 1832 case, Worcester v. Georgia, ruled unconstitutional a Georgia law requiring non-Native Americans requiring a license from the state to be on Native American land.  In responding to the case, the Supreme Court asserted that the federal government is the sole authority to deal with a Native American nation.  From this Supreme Court assertion came the beginnings of tribal sovereignty within the United States for Native American nations -- that the US government would deal with them as domestic nations inside the United States.

The court case was named after Samuel Worcester, a Christian minister working among the Cherokee who was supportive of the Cherokee cause.  To block the activity of a man like Rev. Worcester, the state of Georgia passed a law prohibiting white persons to live within the Cherokee Nation territory without permission from the Georgia state government.  Worcester and other missionaries challenged this law, and the case rose to the level of a Supreme Court decision.  The decision by the Supreme Court, written by Chief Justice Marshall, struck down the Georgia law and reprimanded Georgia for interfering in the affairs of the Cherokee Nation.  Marshall wrote that Indian nations are "distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights." 

But President Andrew Jackson chose not to enforce the court's decision.  He said at the time: "The decision of the Supreme Court has fell stillborn, and they find that it cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate."  He told the Cherokee that they would need to operate under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia or else relocate.  This was a step in the direction of what became known as the "Trail of Tears," when the Cherokee were removed from Georgia and moved to territory in Oklahoma.

How did elizabeth cadys early years influence her achievements later in life
Ede4ka [16]

Elizabeth Cady Stanton is an abolitionist who worked for the women suffrage movement. She is also an eloquent writer as she framed the declaration of sentiments which expressed the grievances and the importance of women rights in the society.  

Explanation:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton took up law and got specialized in that subject. She enjoyed law books and debating with her father’s law clerks. She was formally educated which was considered to be common during the time of gender bias which prevailed in those times. She was well versed in Latin, Greek and mathematics and she had won various academic awards.  She encountered female discrimination in Johnstown where she completed her studies. Her early years gave her the knowledge and the power to voice out against gender bias which she considered to be a social evil in the American society.

She was attracted to many women temperance and abolitionist movements. She married a reformer Henry Stanton. She married him by taking a oath which had the word 'obey' omitted. She is a feminist and considered that females are equal and more than that when compared to men emotionally. They both attended the anti-slavery convention in London where she was supporting the local women who were being kept aloof from political events and after which they settled in Seneca Falls. She framed the Declaration of sentiments which highlighted and echoed the grief of women for being kept aside in the society without being given the equal rights as mentioned in the constitution.

How did nationalism and imperialism go together as powerful ideas in the early 20th century?
zhenek [66]
Both nationalism and imperialism, along with militarism, were very intertwined during this time, since nationalism created an "us vs. them" type of mentality that led countries to want to take over and occupy more territory.
