Detailed explanation-1: -"Jackson Replaces Many Government Workers With His Supporters” “Jackson Vetoes Bank Recharter Bill for Political Reasons” “Jackson Refuses to Enforce Worcester v. Georgia Decision” Which conclusion about President Andrew Jackson is most consistent with these headlines? He expanded presidential powers.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following statements describes Jackson’s veto of the bill rechartering the Second Bank of the United States in 1832? It was a popular move, blending constitutional arguments, an appeal to patriotism, and class rhetoric.
Detailed explanation-4: -Though President Jackson’s exact words were a bit different, the sentiment remained.
