What two Supreme Court decisions did Jackson ignore?
A
South Carolina Seceding
B
Cherokees
C
National bank
D
Electoral votes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -President Andrew Jackson ignored the Court’s decision in Worcester v. Georgia, but later issued a proclamation of the Supreme Court’s ultimate power to decide constitutional questions and emphasizing that its decisions had to be obeyed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jackson’s distrust of the Bank was also political, based on a belief that a federal institution such as the Bank trampled on states’ rights. In addition, he felt that the Bank put too much power in the hands of too few private citizens–power that could be used to the detriment of the government.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jackson’s opponents ridiculed these “pet banks” as a source of corruption, but to no avail. The removal of the government’s deposits crippled the federal bank, and it dissolved in 1836. The next year, another financial panic, the Panic of 1837, swept the country.
