Answer: Yes and no
Explanation: Jackson was known as being a protector of the common man. He vetoed 12 bills which was more than all 6 presidents before him had vetoed combined. His closest advisors (his "kitchen cabinet") were not part of his official cabinet, which led to the appointed cabinet having less influence on policy. After the Peggy Eaton affair, in which he tried to force the cabinet wives to accept the wife of his secretary of war (Peggy O'Neale Eaton), most of his cabinet resigned as well as his vice president, John C. Calhoun.
