Question

Excerpts from First Inaugural Address of Andrew Jackson:

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Government is only a force for good as long as it protects people's rights and stays within established limits.

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. In his first inaugural speech, he touched on several important subjects to the American citizens. After reading all of the excerpts you listed, it is easy to understand why he was known as a great man and a good president. To answer the question, after reviewing section 5 you can conclude that the summary would be "Government has little power without the will of the people." He specifically says "as long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will." This helps to see that he wanted to let the citizens be aware he was working for them and without the will of the people, the government would not work. The people are the ones who vote in the elected senators, representatives, congress, judges, and presidents.
