The political controversy James Madison addressed in his passage became popular in response to which of the following policies during Andrew Jackson's administration?

Question

a. the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia

b. the elimination of the bank of the United States

c. the passage of the Indian removal act of 1830

d. the enforcement of tariffs

Answer 1

The answer is B. While I am not sure to which specific passage by Madison you are referring to specifically, Madison and Jackson were indeed opposite when it came to their views on the constitutionality and necessity of a federal central bank. Madison had been highly active in the creation of the First Bank of the United States and later as President had signed the charter for the second Banks of the United States. Jackson, meanwhile opposed the idea of the nation having a central bank on several grounds, including a belief that it only served the interests of a few rich elite, and during his presidency was instrumental in the elimination of the Second Bank. of the U.S.. With this in mind and the fact there is no connection between the two in relation to the other presented topics, B is your answer.
