Answer:    Stanley Milgram

Explanation:  As Stanley Milgram himself stated, the essence of obedience to authority is when a person begins to perceive himself as a tool to fulfil the wishes of the authority, not his own wishes, so he sees all his actions and consequences of these actions as a result of the action of authority, not as a result of his will and responsibility. Milgram based his experiment on the conflict that arises between the state of obedience and the conscience of a person who subordinated to authority. The essence of the experiment concerned the responsibility of those who committed genocide during WWII, who claimed to have been merely obedient, i.e executing the orders of superiors, and based their defense on this claim. This begs the question of whether or not they were complicit in the genocide.

The experiment was performed with pairs of participants where one was a "student" and the other was a "teacher", and where the student was connected to an electroshock electrode. Each time a student would give a wrong answer, the teacher would activate electricity through the electrodes and the student would experience an electric shock. With each wrong answer, the teacher would increase the level of electric shock. There are also some moderation in the experiment, such as a student would make a mistake on purpose, etc.

The conclusion is that ordinary people are generally willing to kill people, even if they are innocent in order to execute the orders of superiors, recognised as authority. It is considered that when it comes to authority, all its orders are justified and legal. So it is moral and proper to follow the orders of authority, whatever it may be.

Answer:

President Andrew Jackson  responded to this decision by <em><u>ignoring the ruling and allowing Georgia to evict the Cherokee Nation</u></em>.

Explanation:

The 1832 Supreme Court case of Worcester v. Georgia was a result of the state of Georgia mandating the 'white' missionaries to take permission and pledge allegiance to the state before they venture into the Cherokee nation/ settlements. This would become the turning point for the removal of the native Indians from their homes later.

When the state of Georgia tried to impose laws even to the Cherokee territories, white missionaries like Samuel A. Worcester advised the Indians to oppose such actions. The Indians are an autonomous nation and were not under any obligation to be under any law imposed by the government. When the Cherokee people refused to imply with the new law, which also included the missionaries to take permission from the state government and also to pledge allegiance to the state, the case was taken to the Supreme Court.

The court also ruled in favor of Worcester and the Cherokee nation, stating that the Georgia government has no power to impose any rules over the autonomous Indian territory. It was then that President Andrew Jackson refused to comply with the ruling and allowed Georgia to continue with its attempts to 'disrupt' the Cherokee people. This will eventually lead to what will be known as the Trail of Tears, which was a major removal of the Indian people from their lands.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
