Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jackson's administration dealt with several other issues, as well. Jackson surprised Western supporters by not granting the many requests for the federal government to build Western roads and canals. Jackson concluded that, although the roads were needed in the West, only those projects that benefited two or more states could be considered of national importance and would receive federal money. Internal improvements within a state would have to be made by the state itself.
Jackson further surprised his followers by passing his Specie Circular, in which he said that public lands could only be bought with hard money (gold or silver), also known specie. This action forced many of the Western banks to close because they were using paper money, which was not backed by hard money. Jackson did please his followers, however, by declaring that public land should not be used to raise money for the federal government, but should be sold at a price that barely covered the cost of administering the land.
The final issue that Jackson handled involved the Bank of the United States. Jackson and many of his supporters were against the Bank because they did not trust it. They thought that it favored the wealthy classes and put the control of the government in the hands of the well-to-do instead of the common American. Congress brought Jackson a bill to renew the Bank's charter. However, because of his beliefs, Jackson vetoed it. After his election to a second term, Jackson ordered his secretary of the treasury to withdraw all federal funds from the Bank and ordered him to place the money in specially chosen state banks. These banks became known as the "pet banks" and came under much criticism by Jackson's enemies.
Martin Van Buren
In 1836, Jackson handpicked his successor, Martin Van Buren, who was elected as the eighth president. Many of the events of Jackson's presidency, particularly his banking policy, created problems for Van Buren's administration. The Panic of 1837 resulted from Jackson's policies, and the U.S. faced bad economic times. People who had placed their money in state banks now demanded to be paid back. However, the banks could not meet their demands. Depression and hard times struck the U.S. With the 1840 election, the Jacksonian Era came to a close.
