Answer:

The Quota Act of 1924 was designed to preserve the Anglo-Saxon, Protestant character of the United States.

Explanation:

The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, was a federal law passed on May 16, 1924 in the United States of America to limit immigration. This law was much more restrictive than the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 by banning entry to the entire Chinese population and extending restrictions to other Asian immigrant groups, and to a lesser extent , to people from Eastern and Southern Europe; on the other hand, it did not apply to persons originating from the American continent.

Why did President Andrew Jackson oppose renewing the charter for the Second Bank of the United States?
mario62 [17]

Andrew Jackson was a strict constructionist. This means that he had a strict interpretation of the United States Constitution, as opposed to a loose constructionist who had a loose interpretation of the United States Constitution. He believed that it should not be up for interpretation and should be interpreted how it is stated.

The Bank of the United States was quite a controversial topic during this time, as strict constructionists thought it was against the United States Constitution since there was nowhere in it that stated the bank could be created. On the other hand, loose constructionists did not think having a bank was unconstitutional because it was "<em>necessary and proper</em>." They would continue to use this Necessary and Proper Clause or the "<em>elastic clause</em>" to push for things that were not explicitly stated in the Constitution.
