The answer is b. he got reelected. In his first run for president in 1824, Jackson won after a close race winning against John Quincy Adams. In a bid for re-election, he ran against Adams again in 1828 but this time he built his base in the West and won by a landslide. Among the developments that happened during his administration, he forbade any state to secede from the Union and threaten South Carolina with military force when they attempted to. He dismantled the Second Bank of the United States by taking down its charter and signed the Indian Removal Act that placed Native Americans on reservations.
