Political Beliefs
Believed he represented the nation as a whole
Disliked people who obtained power from wealth
Relied on Kitchen Cabinet – personal friends who advised him in political and governmental decisions

Actions as President
Used spoils system, a practice in which he fired and replaced 10% of government employees with his loyal supporters
Vetoed more bills than did all previous Presidents combined
Signed pork-barrel bills – those that benefited his political friends You will still hear this phrase today!

Tariff of Abominations
Tariff on British goods Caused hardships only to Southern states VP John Calhoun devised a nullification plan:
each state had the right to nullify (cancel) a national law (tariff) within its borders if it felt that the law was unconstitutional
South Carolina threatened to secede (withdraw) from the Union if forced to pay tariffs any longer

Banks . . .
Jackson considered them a symbol of the privileged class, and therefore, a threat to democracy.
States considered them too strong a competitor
Farmers distrusted paper money issued by bank; preferred hard money
Bank Leader, Nicholas Biddle, was disliked
![Page 19: The Americans Page 262. Andrew Jackson 3 Column Chart Kitchen Cabinet Spoils System Veto Power.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649efd5503460f94c10953/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1831: Senator Benton (Missouri) introduced a resolution against renewing the bank
Bank became most important issue of 1832 Election Jackson moved federal funds ($) into chosen state
banks (known as pet banks by opponents) Biddle refuses loans to new businesses (1832-1833)
due to large amount of federal money removed from banks
State banks – printed more $ than what was deposited – value of $ declines
