Andrew jackson help :?
Summarize the details of McCulloch v. Maryland and Gibbons v. Ogden from Jackson’s perspective.
@SolomonZelman
Jackson was against a Federal bank and was for the questioning of the Constitutionality of such a bank before the Supreme court. He wanted it proved once and for all that the bank should not exist. Andrew Jackson successfully nominated Roger B. Taney, as Supreme Court Justice who opposed the establishment of the second Bank of the United States. Look what Wikipedia has to say... "In the summer of 1818, the national bank managers realized the bank's massive over-extension, and instituted a policy of contraction and the calling in of loans. This recalling of loans simultaneously curtailed land sales and slowed the U.S. production boom due to the recovery of Europe. The result was the Panic of 1819 and the situation leading up to McCulloch v. Maryland 17 U.S. 316 (1819).[4] " "Jackson, the populist, did not like the National Bank because he thought it served mainly to make the northeastern business elite richer, was very corrupt and exercised too much control over members of Congress. Even if he was right - which he actually was - he had really no idea what he was setting into motion, because breaking up the functions of the national bank just increased land speculation and borrowing on paper, and when he required payment in gold or silver for government lands, the banks did not have enough to meet the demand and the banking system collapsed and caused an economic panic (the Panic of 1837) followed by a depression.
