Ch. 13 Jacksonian

Which statement best describes how “Jacksonian democracy” influenced suffrage in the United States?

• Since Jackson represented the common man so well, fewer and fewer people felt the need to vote.
• During the Jackson Era, voting rights were extended to more and more people, including women and freed slaves.
• In response to Jackson’s presidency, most states increased qualifications for voting.  As a result, fewer people could vote.
• The Jackson Era encouraged many states to drop property qualifications for voting. As a result, more “Ordinary” people could vote.

Many of his opponents would have agreed with the cartoon’s portrayal of Jackson   Because it suggests that ---

• A.    he was not really the common man that many people thought him to be
• A.    he has used the spoils system to gain wealth and influence in the government
• A.    the executive branch of government became too powerful during his presidency
• A.    the leaders of other countries had too much influence in the American government

In Worcester V. Georgia, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee people could not be forced to relocate by the state of Georgia because the----

• Cherokee people had developed  their own set of laws for government

In response to the Tariff of 1828, South Carolina passed the ordinance of Nullification in 1832, creating the Nullification Crisis. What question was at the center of the Nullification Crisis?

• Could the United States government impose taxes on the citizens of the Country?
• Could a state refuse to obey a federal that the state considered unconstitutional?
• Could a state place its own tariffs on goods made in the United States or imported from other countries?
• Could the government of the United States impose tariffs that benefited one part of the country more than another?

Which statement best explains why passage of South Carolina’s Ordinance of Nullification led to a government crisis in the United States?

• The United States relied on tariffs as a source of money for the country.
• If other states had nullified the tariff, a civil war would probably have begun.
• South Carolina’s law was the first opposition to a tariff passed by the central government.
• The U.S. Constitution did not include a provision for states who opposed a particular law.

President Andrew Jackson viewed South Carolina’s Ordinance of Nullification (1832) as a ---

• Positive action on the state’s part
• Serious threat to the nation’s unity
• Harmless act that could be ignored
• Resolution to the debate over tariffs

I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the united States, assumed by ones state, incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution  --Proclamation, Andrew Jackson.

The proclamation excerpted above was issued during which of these historical events?

• Shay's Rebellion
• The War of 1812
• Nullification Crisis
• The Civil War

Speaker1:A state has the right to overrule an act passed by Congress. After all, the national government is supposed to share power with the states.

Speaker 2:I believe that you are wrong. The states do share power with the national government, but the Constitution says the national government has supremacy.  These speakers are debating an issue that eventually became known as the —

• Monroe Doctrine
• Three-Fifths Compromise
• Missouri Compromise
• Nullification Crisis
