We, the American people, were honored to have electee Andrew Jackson serve as our president for two terms. His valiant decisions in events such as the Bank War, South Carolina’s Nullification Act, and the Indian Removal Act ensured that the majority of Americans opinions would be represented.

Jackson had once again appealed the majority’s needs, upholding the general power
