Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Impact of Jackson’s Veto The Bank’s charter gave the institution too much power over the nation’s financial markets, he argued-power that enabled it to generate huge profits for its stockholders, most of whom were “foreigners” and “our own opulent citizens.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The bank’s charter was unfair, Jackson argued in his veto message, because it gave the bank considerable, almost monopolistic, market power, specifically in the markets that moved financial resources around the country and into and out of other nations.
