None of these

Detailed explanation-1: -Tyler was ready to compromise on the banking question, but Clay would not budge. He would not accept Tyler’s “exchequer system, ” and Tyler vetoed Clay’s bill to establish a National Bank with branches in several states. A similar bank bill was passed by Congress. But again, on states’ rights grounds, Tyler vetoed it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Whigs also endorsed a strong national bank to boost investment and tariffs to protect American industries. The new Whig Party found many supporters in North Carolina, especially in the west and the Albemarle Sound region. Most of the east, which was dominated by wealthy planters, remained firmly Democratic.
Detailed explanation-3: -On August 16, 1841 (171 years ago today) President John Tyler vetoed a bill which called for the re-establishment of the Second Bank of the United States. In response, enraged Whig Party members rioted outside the White House in what is said to be the most violent demonstration on White House grounds in U.S. history.
