1. Worcester v. Georgia Supreme Court Case. Beginning in 1832, it was a result of upset over land. Worcester, a Native American, believed he should be allowed to live on Native American land. However, the state of Georgia brought an army to kick him and other Native Americans out of their homes. The Supreme Court judged this as unconstitutional, and sided with Worcester.
2. Cherokee Nation vs Georgia. In 1830, the trial started. The Cherokees were upset because new Georgia laws were being passed that took away the Cherokee’s basic rights. The Cherokee nation wanted these laws to be repealed, but instead, the Supreme Court called the Cherokees a “denominated domestic dependent nation”. The court ruled that the tribe did not have original jurisdiction.

Most Natives had been removed from the Northeast by the time Jackson was in office but they were prosperous in the southwest. Jackson always treated them as a separate nation so he had them moved out west where they would not bother any Americans.
2. The American System and Maysville Road Veto
Jackson halted projects that improved America, such as building bridges and roads, and attempted to make America more frugal as it had been before.
3.The Eaton Affair
Jackson was involved in a massive rumor about his secretary of war, John Henry Eaton's wife. John C. Calhoun was believed to be spreading rumors that Eaton's wife's late husband had killed himself because of her affairs with John Henry Eaton. So Jackson became more distant from Calhoun and became more associated with Van Buren who eventually took Calhouns place as Vice President in the next election.
4.The Nullification Crisis
Jackson had Congress reduce the tariff more and increase authority to enforce laws. Later on the tariff was abolished and the American System was hindered.
5. Slavery
Jackson grew up with slavery being normal around him, and had his own to work on his plantation. Though no official laws were enforced, Jackson's presidency concluded with rising tensions with slavery.
