Question

Briefly describe ONE significant difference between Jackson's interpretation of government powers as expressed in his message to Congress and Webster's.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

One significant difference between Jackson's interpretation of government powers as expressed in his message to Congress was the belief of President Andrew Jackson that the Bank of the United States served the interests of a private company and personal interests, instead of serving the citizens of the United States. He thought that the United States Bank was not accountable to the people.

His rivals and enemies immediately reacted against his decision. When President Jackson vetoed the bill renewing the charter of the Second National Bank of the United States, his opponents and rivals felt that Jackson had disregarded the decisions of both, Congress and the Supreme Court.
