The president who was most responsible for expanding the power of the presidency through the use of executive orders was Andrew Jackson. He dictated twelve executive orders, being the first American president to exceed ten executive orders during his term.
Executive orders are provisions issued by the President of the United States that administer the operations of the executive branch of the federal government.
Executive orders belong to administrative law, but have the force of law only when they are based on the executive powers granted directly to the President of the United States by the Constitution (Article II), or are dictated according to laws of Congress that explicitly delegate to the President a certain degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation).

Answer:
Martin Luther King Jr. spent his life fighting for racial justice. He helped organize many peaceful and non violent sit ins and protests such as the Montgomery bus boycott, which was a year long struggle for justice after Rosa Parks was arrested. He proceeded to promote non violent action throughout the South, and eventually shared his famous ''I Have a Dream'' speech to the people gathered in Washington. This is only a small portion of his legacy, as he dedicated his life to the peaceful struggle for racial equality.
