Explanation:
Jackson confronted a series of issues during his presidency, one of them was the issue of states’ rights and sectionalism. During that period there was a serious confront of the state’s rights and federal government, many created the motto “Liberty first and Union afterward”. Many defended that the federal government had too much power.

The Union, next to our liberty, the most dear; may we all remember that it can only be preserved by respecting the rights of the States and distributing equally the benefit and burden of the Union”.</em>
