b. Nullification
c. the number of banks, each issuing its own paper currency, increased
d. direct subsidies
e. the Trail of Tears

Answer 1

The policies of the Andrew Jackson administration resulted in the Second Bank of the United States being destroyed, the issue of nullification being addressed, and an increase in the number of banks issuing their own paper currency.

Step-by-step explanation:

The policies of the Andrew Jackson administration resulted in the following:

1. The Second Bank of the United States: Jackson opposed the bank and believed it concentrated too much power in the hands of the privileged few. He worked to destroy the bank, eventually removing deposits and placing them in state banks.
2. Nullification: Jackson took a strong stand in favor of the preservation of the union when South Carolina claimed the states had the right to nullify federal laws.
3. The number of banks, each issuing its own paper currency, increased: Jackson's actions against the Second Bank of the United States led to the proliferation of state banks that issued their own paper currency.
4. Direct subsidies: There is no evidence to suggest that direct subsidies were a result of Jackson's policies.
5. The Trail of Tears: While the forced removal of Native Americans known as the Trail of Tears occurred during Jackson's presidency, it was not specifically a result of his policies but rather his support for Indian removal.
