Jackson

 One reason John Quincy Adams was accused of the “Corrupt Bargain” was he -

 

•     allotted half of his campaign funds to be spent on buying votes of constituents

•    agreed to give Jackson the office of Vice President if Jackson withdrew from running for president

• gave Henry Clay the office of Secretary of State after Clay convinced the House of Representative to vote Adams into the Presidency

• used his father’s political influence to gain the office of Presidency

   

One reason the American people referred to Andrew Jackson as the “common man” was because Jackson -  

 

   

 

• forced Native American’s from their lands to allow the common farmers to expand their land holdings

• send  his children to public school until they were able to attend the university

• refused to

   own slaves and abhorred the institution of slavery

• was born in a log cabin and gained support from laborers and farmers

During the Age of Jackson one significant change to the voting system was - 

•   All Americans were granted the right to vote

• The poll tax (fee to vote) was lowed to five dollars

• Women over the age of 30 that owned land were allowed to vote

•   Many states no longer required you to own property to vote

Which of the following is an example of the “spoil system”?

 

   

     

 

• Farmers leaving their produce out in the sun to spoil as a means of protesting the protective tariff

• The Senate approving a bill introduced by the House in return for the House passing a bill introduced by the Senate

• John Q. Adams selecting his father to be Secretary of State

•   Jackson selecting people who supported his campaign to receive government positions

 South Carolina responded to the Tariff of Abominations by - 

• Forming a formidable state military to fight the federal military

•    Asking congress to reconsider passing a lower tariff rate

•   Refusing to send representatives to Congress

•    Passing the Nullification Act

In the court case Worcester v. Georgia, John Marshall ruled -

 

• Indian tribes were subject to federal laws not state laws

• Native Americans were allied of the United States

•   The president could not force Natives off of their lands

• D.      Land previously taken from the Cherokee would be returned
