Question

Which answer best describes Andrew Jackson's view of a national bank?

Answer 1

Answer:

Andrew Jackson felt that a national bank was unconstitutional because the Constitution did not mention banks.

Explanation:

In addition to being the first president of humble origin, Andrew Jackson projected the image of defender of the common man. His differences with the National Bank consisted in the suspicion of the people on the ambition of politicians, bankers and foreign investors. And all this led to distrust of the bills issued by banks, and to demand that it be paid with gold or silver coins. Above all, Jackson considered the Bank an anti-constitutional and undemocratic institution, because it privileged a few inhabitants, the richest, against the majority. Then, when in 1832 the Congress approved the application for renewal of the license of the National Bank for 1836, the president interposed a veto. The four years that followed this decision of the executive was a real duel between Jackson and Biddle, the director of the National Bank. The battle was won by the president withdrawing federal funds to send them to small banks and Biddle himself declared bankruptcy in 1841.
