Answer 1

Jackson’s position on nullification was that he saw it as a threat to the Union. He believed that the federal government derived its power from the people, not from the states, and that federal laws had greater authority than those of the individual states. In his view, nullification was unconstitutional and could lead to secession123.

Jackson opposed slavery abolitionists and used his executive power to stop antislavery literature from being sent through the U.S. mail4.

Jackson vetoed the rechartering of the Bank of the United States because he believed that it was unconstitutional, subversive to the rights of states, and dangerous to the liberties of the people5678.
