Jackson

=Jackson= Under what circumstances, if any, can a State reject a Federal Law? Why do you say this? Yes a state can reject a federal law. It's called Nullification. If a state does not find a law constitutional, or if they dont like it, it would be possible for them to reject the law.

=The Hayne-Webster Debate= Senetors Hayne and Webster debated on the issue of Nullification and State's rights. In 1830, the debate took place in the United States. Hayne supported theState Government, quoting "Nullification, he said, gave states a lawful way to protest Federal Legislation." Webster supported the National Government, he stressed the idea of union, liberty, and inseparable. It was significant because South Carolina threatened to suceed from the Union. This showed the up comming roots of the Civil War comming and the problems between the South and the North.

=Summary= The Federal Governemnt and State Government clashed again. Hayne siding with the State Government, and Webster siding with the Federal Government, argued over Nullification and State Powert. South Carolina went as far to voiding the tariff and threatning to sucdeed from the Union. Jackson was going to use military power to collect the taxes from the state. But a compromise worked out, so none of there unessasary actions were required. It foreshadowed the roots of Civil War and the growing of Sectionalism, the North aganist the South. I do believe nullification is warrented on some circumstances. It is a lawful way to protest Leglislation of the Federal Government. This was the only way States could have a voice aganist the Federal Government.

Andrew Jackson has been considered a villian and a hero to many people in the United States of America. Tasks such as the Battle of New Orleans and the Indian Removal Act has made him famous in the land of the free. Also, the man was a General during the Revolution War and won countless victories. It was very easy for him to be the popular vote of the citizens. He was also a commander of the South Military Opertations before. The South strongly supported him and sectionalism played a role for his votes to presidency. Andrew Jackson through out his presidency changed the role of the president and clashed with many obsticles on the pathway. Though his acts were cruel, the constitution did justify his actions.
 * Document-Based Essay**
 * How did Andrew Jackson change the power of the presidency? AND was this justified according to the Constitution?**

Andrew Jackson as president showed that the Federal Government can collect taxes using the military to enforce his power. He also vetoed the bank bill. He showed that States couldn't negate a law from Congress. All government would come to an end if the Federal Government didn't stop this act. The other States would soon follow South Carolina and start voiding laws they don't like. Than a revoultion would be on their hands. Andrew Jackson saw this and stopped this as soon as possible before it got out of hand. There was going to be a war though, both sides thinking their right, but a compromise was made and all this blood shed was prevented. But there was blood shed happening in other places such as the Indian Removal Act. He ordered the Native American's relocation so that settlement can expand.

Andrew Jackson did have the right to collect taxes according to the Constitution though. One power reserved to the Federal Government is that they can collect and form taxes. They formed the Tariff Tax and South Carolina didn't pay it. So they could use the elastic clause, or the military act to collect the money due. The Federal Government could do this in order to perform the nessasry tasks assigned to them. Money would be required collected from the Tariff Act to perform all their duties. The Native American's were not citizens of the United States so the amendments and rights would not apply to them. The constitution would justify all of Andrew's Actions.

In the end, Jackson started gaining enimies as the citizens started to dislike him. The political cartoon with the comparison as Jackson being the next king showed some people didn't like him. They foreshadowed his reign would end badly to Americans. But there are some good points. The song "“Jackson and the Nullifiers” supported Jackson and would act on his behalf. Also the Hydra Political Cartoon shows Andrew fighting the mythlogical beast. The idea would be that Jackson is a hero for fighting the monster. Jackson's presidency caused many controversies and problems to America, and will soon lead to war within the opposite sides.
