Answer 1

Andrew Jackson's statements and actions served to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" to a certain extent by opposing and destroying the Second Bank of the United States. His actions aligned with his belief in protecting the majority from the privileged few.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrew Jackson's statements and actions served to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" to a certain extent. When it came to the Second Bank of the United States, Jackson believed that it concentrated too much power in the hands of a few and was not accountable to the people. His opposition to the bank and his destruction of it reflected his belief in protecting the majority against the privileged few. Although his actions were controversial and sparked the creation of the second party system, Jackson's actions aligned with his view that the government should serve the common people and protect the Constitution.

Answer 2

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.
