The correct answer is C) fine gold jewelry.
Each of the following is a contribution of the Shang Dynasty EXCEPT fine gold jewelry.
Historians consider that the ancient Shang Dynasty started around 1760 BCE and ended in 1046 BCE. They had a rigid social class, worked in agriculture and irrigation to grow crops, were fine craftsmen using bronze, and developed a writing system. They settled on the banks of the Yellow River because, with the permanent floods, the soil was very fertile. What the Shang Dynasty did not have was fine gold jewelry.
According to Andrew Jackson, he developed the spoils system as a means to ensure that there was a "rotation in office." He argued that completely changing the members of the federal government under his control would make sure that there were no individuals who stayed in office for too long.
However, most Americans viewed the spoils system as a means for Andrew Jackson to reward his friends and political allies with government jobs. Jackson often gave these jobs to individuals who helped him during his presidential campaign.

National and State Bank policies in the 1830's contributed to the Inflation, The panic increased national debt depression because...
1833 - President Jackson went against the bank by recalling deposits of the federal government, and putting them to state banks. Meaning lots of useless money was being churned out (every bank had a special type of money) and countless loans were being issued without consideration and thought. During that, federal revenue due to land had greatly increased
<1835 - He used this as an "opening" to pay of the national debts, however, this was quickly demolished
1836 - The congress passed a law that required the federal surplus to be shared to the states in four payments, later on the Jackson Administration started the "Specie Circular" (where payments for federal land had to be paid in small installments using coins!)
In March 1837, the new elected president: Martin Van Buren had a big job on his hands; there was an festering economic crisis due to the free spirited bank practices in conjunction with crazy credits etc. it wasn't looking good
May 1837; NYC Banks stopped specie payments and with this, this created a new path for a bad economic recession. Due to this, Van Buren was under so many factors of pressure, he decided not to stop the Specie Circular. He created a set of economic proposals (September ) which was a key date; a self reliant treasury congress didn't want to accept. Meaning the economy plummeted in 1839 and didn't improve until 1843.
