The correct answer is A) He believed the bank benefited wealthy elites at the expense of small farmers.

Jackson opposed the Bank of the United States because he believed the bank benefited wealthy elites at the expense of small farmers.

United States President Andrew Jackson ordered the termination of the Second Bank of the United States on September 10, 1833. He decided to remove the federal funds of what had been the National Bank of the country and put it many states banks. If you ask how could he do a thing like this, well, because he used his presidential power to do so. The President thought the National bank benefited the business class and oppressed the common citizen.
