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.

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no hay opciones, podemos comentar esto.

Una fuente histórica se analiza de diversas maneras. Una de ella es por medio del autor. Hay que revisar quién es el autor, cómo recolectó la información, cuáles fueron sus fuentes. Si él mismo atestiguó el acontecimiento al que se refiere.

Otra forma puede ser si él entrevistó a personas que estuvieron presentes y vieron el acontecimiento que describe.

También hay que analizar qué tipo de documentos aporta para comprobar lo que se dice. Pueden ser pergaminos, cartas, fotografías, o más recientemente, videos y audios.

Otra manera es validar lo que la fuente dice, comparándola con otras fuentes que digan algo similar para corroborar la información original.
