Answer:

The correct answer is C. buying up small railroad companies to drive up his business

Explanation:

According to history, Jay Gould between 1836-1892 of his lifetime was a railroad mogul in the United States predominantly in New York City. He was also a financier. Jay Gould's interest in the railroad industry grew beyond measures as he started with a move to invest in small railroads after much deliberation in 1859.  He was involved in so many railroad projects that led him into holding high positions in the industry and by 1867, he was made director of "Erie Railroad".

To grow his business and fully own the railroad industry, Jay Gould started some fraudulent dealings in his stocks and paying bribes to some bodies in government. He properly invested in "Union Pacific Railroad" stocks and soon gained maximum control.

The correct answer is: A). It was too powerful.

Explanation:

<em>The Second National Bank</em> of the United States<em> was founded in 1816</em> being the successor bank of the National Bank created in 1791 by <em>George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. </em>

<em>President Andrew Jackson</em> view this bank as an<em> elitist institution</em> tied to Eastern commercial interests. He thought<em> it had more power than any other bank</em>, since it acted like a branch of government, and controlled a big part of the nation's gold. The Second National Bank was an institution <em>against democratic views</em>, making it's priority<em> to gain profit </em>and <em>not public service.</em>

The re-election campaign of President Andrew Jackson against Henry Clay <em>focused on the bank's future</em>, when he won he felt he received a mandate from the public to close the bank despite the objections of the Congress. He removed all federal funds on <em>September 10, 1833</em> and announced that after October 1 there wouldn't be any deposits to the bank. President Jackson destroyed the bank, and it's charter officially expired in 1836.<em> The Congress censured President Jackson </em>for an abuse of presidential power.
