Let us Review: Jackson

Favorite Sons Candidates who receive backing from their home states or regions with out support from the National Party. Jackson was a Favorite Son of Tennessee. Henry Clay was a Favorite Son of Kentucky.

The Election of 1824 Tie: W.H. Crawford, Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, and John Quincy Adams. Jackson and Adams had the plurality (largest amount) but not the majority (51%+). So, election goes to House of Representatives. Corrupt Bargain: Speaker of House Henry Clay and J.Q. Adams reach a deal to give Adams the Presidency and Clay the Sect. of State. JACKSON SCREAMS THAT IT IS A CORRUPT BARGAIN. Plurality

Nominating Conventions Caucus System was abandoned where Congressman chose party nominee and replaced with Nominating Conventions where state party representatives chose party nominees.

Mudslinging Mudslinging: (Personal attacks designed to ruin a political opponents personal reputation.) Examples in 1828 Said of Jackson: “He’s Gambler, Military Tyrant, Wife lived in bigamy with Jackson.” Said of J.Q. Adams: “Gambler, Pool player, ‘Pimped’ for the Czar of Russia.”

Spoils System and Bureaucracy “To the victor go the spoils.” Spoils System: (Fire enemies hire friends in the government’s bureaucracy. ) Bureaucracy( Non elected government officials who carry out day to day functions of the government.) Called corrupt at the time. Spoils system becomes a precedent that all presidents follow until late 1890s when laws changed the rules.

Tariff of 1828 Protective Tariff placed on European Manufactured Goods. – Loved in the North, Okay in the West, Hated by John C. Calhoun in the South!

Nullification Crisis South Carolina passed the Nullification Act which stated that it refused to pay the “illegal tariff” of Some South Carolinians threatened to secede from the Union. Henry Clay got the Senate to pass the Force Bill which allowed the president to use the military to enforce laws of Congress.

The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, along with Vice President Calhoun. The act authorized him to negotiate with the Native Americans in the Southern United States for their removal to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their homelands

V. Worcester Worcester v. Georgia, (1832), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court vacated the conviction of Samuel Worcester and held that the Georgia criminal statute that prohibited non- Indians from being present on Indian lands without a license from the state was unconstitutional.

"John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!". – Andrew Jackson Jackson ignores the Supreme Court and goes ahead with Indian Removal. Doesn’t this violate the Constitution??
