Worcester vs Georgia
Native americans that were in grorgia were mad because they thought it was uncostitional for americans to take their land away like they did. Andrew Jackson said I'll let Marshall enforce that, but marshall never said anything, so that meant the native americans were basically getting knocked out and pushed out of their land. This made the Natives travel westward looking for new land along the trail of tears. -
Nullification Crisis
The south thought that the protective tariff benefited the north far more than the south becuse the north was more industrialized and the south was more agricultural.

Andrew goes against this by saying ,if you secede, I will send the whole military after you.They later agreed with the comprimise tariff of 1833.
