    Jacksonian's viewed themselves as guardians of the constitution, political democracy, individual liberties, and equality of economic opportunity. Many of his followers from that time tended to agree but a lot of people today look back and disagree with each of these assumptions. I believe that he was a keeper of the constitution and political democracy. Depending upon your outlook, Jackson was a guardian of individual liberties, even with his oppression of African American slaves, Indians, and women. His equality of economic opportunity was more towards the common man that the elite but gave that common man a larger chance for equality with the elites without allowing the elites a greater chance to increase their wealth.…

Jackson's stubborn skepticism of aristocrat institutions escalated into a highly personal battle between and the president of the bank, Nicholas Biddle. Economically speaking Jackson strongly opposed federal power and did almost everything in his power to destroy the successful bank which he deemed a Monster. The actions of Jackson included defeating the bank’s supporters politically and crushing the bank itself economically.…

    During the 1830’s and 1820’s the Jacksonain Democrats viewed them selves as the protectors of the Constitution from other parties who had a loose on the constitution. This statement can be viewed as both true and false as the Jacksonian Democrats did not live up to their promises. With the veto of the bank, Indian Removal Act, Jackson did little to defend the United States Constitution as promised. To add on to Jackson’s inconsistencies many of his decisions were found to have flaws that directly opposed to the Constitution. Andrew Jackson and his followers, although promised to be defenders of the Constitution, were some times anything but that.…

    During Jackson’s time in office (1829-1837) he lead the nation at a very critical period and made many reforms in law to strengthen the nation. From 1816-1826, Americans were starting to obey the law of the land. In Document B, Flint reflected on this particular decade. Around 1816 there was more violence, but by the time Flint stated “I have never experienced anything that resembled insult..,” that was near the end of decade when more people started to respect each other. Jackson presented “general equality of condition among the people” according to Document D. This article indicates that the common men were satisfied with Jackson’s contributions. .

    tAndrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States and during his presidency he did things that were considered morally and traditionally out of bounds. Many of these things have had a lasting impact on the presidency and the rest of the executive branch to this day. Some examples of those things were new reasons for the use of the power of veto, his attitude towards executive branch office holders who disagreed with him, and his overall strong actions while in office. These three examples are the main reasons why Jackson is considered not to have overstepped his limits but expanded them, and not abused but enhanced presidential power.…

    President Jackson did not uphold the Constitution very well. He went against what the Supreme Court said was unconstitutional and force the Cherokee Nation out of their homeland(Doc g). Going against what the Supreme Court gave a message that President Jackson was prepared to do what he wanted to do, whether it was proven wrong or not. President Jackson also vetoed the U.S. Bank charter which was deemed constitutional in the McCulloch v. Maryland hearing of 1819. President Jackson thought that the bank was a monopoly and thought that the shareholders of the bank used the bank the benefit themselves instead of the nation. This decision angered many people, and in Daniel Webster’s reply to President Jackson’s veto (Doc. C), Webster states “It manifestly seeks to inflame the poor against the rich; it wantonly attacks whole classes of people, for the purpose of turning against them the prejudices and the resentment of other classes.” Webster thought that Jackson’s veto was a way to get the economic classes to clash together. He blames Jackson that he is trying to separate the country. Webster also states that the veto “extends the grasp of executive pretension over every power of the government.” implying that Jackson thinks that he can overpower any form of the government or any…

    ANDREW JACKSON BIOGRAPHY

    • 1273 Words
    • 5 Pages

    "Andrew Jackson, I am given to understand, was a patriot and a traitor. He was one of the greatest of generals, and wholly ignorant of the art of war. A writer brilliant, elegant, eloquent, and without being able to compose a correct sentence, or spell words of four syllables. The first of statesmen, he never devised, he never framed a measure. He was the most candid of men, and was capable of the profoundest dissimulation. A most law-defying, law-obeying citizen. A stickler for discipline, he never hesitated to disobey his superior. A democratic aristocrat. An urbane savage. An atrocious saint."…
