How did mercantilism increase the likelihood of conflicts between European powers

USPshnik [31]

Competition over wealth and resources--under the theory of mercantilism it was believed there was a limited amount of wealth in the world and power was given to the country that held the most wealth.

Power and wealth are connected under the mercantilism theory. If there is only so much wealth in the world and a country must hold the most wealth to have the most power, then countries would be willing to fight each other for wealth. During the late 15th and early 15th centuries, this theory drove European countries to create colonies and trade connections with Asian Empires. In doing this they believed they were gaining power through the wealth of land and resources.

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

Explanation:

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

President Andrew Jackson view this bank as an elitist institution tied to Eastern commercial interests. He thought it had more power than any other bank, 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 against democratic views, making it's priority to gain profit and not public service.

The re-election campaign of President Andrew Jackson against Henry Clay focused on the bank's future, 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 September 10, 1833 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. The Congress censured President Jackson for an abuse of presidential power.
