Clergy abuse caused people to distrust the Catholic Church As well as things such as indulgences aka buying forgiveness, and the Clergy doing what he tells people NOT to do, such as getting drunk, religious posts being sold, and misunderstanding the Sermon (a part of the Bible).
"b. lived in the same state for 10 years" would not be a requirement needed in order to become president, since people quite often move around between various states during their lives.
T<span>he Framers of the Constitution divided American government into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. This created a better democracy because the power is not concentrated within one branch or in the hands of a few.
The systems in </span><span>place that protect against one branch having too much power is called "separation of powers" and "checks and balances." This system keeps each branch from getting too powerful by limiting its powers. For example, the legislative branch can pass a law but the president veto it. That's a way the executive branch checks the legislative. And let's say the legislature really wants to pass that law, so they vote on it. With 2/3 majority of votes for the law, Congress can override the president's veto. That's a way the legislative branch checks on the executive. And let's say that although that law was passed by the legislature, some say that it's unconstitutional. If that happens, then the judicial branch checks out the law and can declare it unconstitutional. If it's declared unconstitutional, then the law will be no longer enforced or valid. That's a way the judicial branch checks the other branches.
Other examples of "checks and balances" is how the president is in charge of the armed forces, but only Congress can declare war. The judicial branch interprets laws and their constitutionality, but the president appoint the federal judges. The president appoints the federal judges, but the legislative branch has to approve those officials. The legislative branch also decides how many judges would be in the Supreme Court. The president can veto and the judicial can repeal laws, but the legislature can impeach the president and federal judges/officials.
These systems are important to American democracy because they keep the government from getting too powerful and oppressing the people. </span>
In 1830, Jackson ignored a Supreme Court ruling to sign into law the Indian Removal Act, forcing native people to lands in the West, away from their homes east of the Mississippi river.
The reason: Gold.
Gold had been found on Cherokee land, and Jackson wanted it. The president’s excuse for removal – claiming the Cherokees had violated the constitution by declaring their own state without approval – was a smokescreen.
The native Americans were eventually forced to march 800 miles west. From the 47,000 southeastern Indians that were uprooted, it is estimated that 1 in 4 died from either exhaustion or starvation on what is now called The Trail of Tears. Jackson acquired more than one hundred million acres of land.
The Indian Removal Act was genocide.
Andrew Jackson should not be on the $20 bill I have many more reason but that’s the biggest.
