Question

why does the cartoon from the bank war 1832 portray president jackson as a king?

A many people felt he was motivated by his own wealth
B some felt he had used his power inappropriately in vetoing legislation to recharter the bank
C some felt there remained questions about the legitimacy of the election that put him into office
D many people believed that his anti-bank stance was to serve the interests of aristocrats

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Many people criticized Jackson of abusing his power after vetoing the recharter of the national bank. Jackson could see that the banks were rigged to keep wealth with the rich while hurting the poor, so he didn't renew the charter. His critics however used this as a ploy against him. Despite this, he was reelected to a second term.
