Question

To what extent did Andrew Jackson's statements and actions serve to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States"?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

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

Andrew Jackson's statements and actions did not serve to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" when he violated his oath to follow and protect the Constitution of the United States when he did not want to respect the treaties with the Native American Indian tribes that guaranteed them the respect of their lands and tribes.

By declaring war against the Cherokee nation, breaking the previous treatise, and not asking Congress for a formal declaration of war, President Jackson was accused of violating the US Constitution. Jackson also disregarded the Supreme Court decision in the case of 1832, Worcester v. Georgia.
