Select two of the following events of Jackson’s presidency. Describe each in complete sentences and explain why these events were important.


Nullification Crisis

Specie Circular

Answer 1

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

McCulloch vs. Maryland:

McCulloch vs. Maryland was a landmark case in 1819 because it was ruled by the Supreme Court that Congress is allowed to create a national bank using constitutional powers. It was also decided that states didn't have power to tax the Federal Government.

Gibbons vs. Ogden:

Gibbons vs. Ogden was a landmark case in 1824 because it was ruled that Congress had the power to regulate interstate commerce, not the states. Congress had power to regulate boating, trading, and navigation licenses that crossed waterways.

Nullification Crisis: This started with a dispute between states and the federal government, and was bad enough that it almost started a civil war between them. President Jackson issued the Nullification Proclamation in 1832 that disputed states' rights to nullify any federal laws, but did raise tensions.

Specie Circular: President Jackson made an executive decision/order to demand that any public lands that were purchased could only be purchased in silver or gold. Jackson made this decision only in spite to protect revenues by the federal government.

Hope this helps! :)
