As with Jefferson and Madison, Jackson had a mixed record on strict construction. On matters such spending federal funds on intrastate roads, he vetoed such legislation on the basis of it exceeding the enumerated power of congress to raise and distribute those funds so, stating:
"it is true that many of the taxes collected from our citizens through the medium of imposts have for a considerable period been onerous. In many particulars these taxes have borne severely upon the laboring and less prosperous classes of the community, being imposed on the necessaries of life"
As for the removal of indigenous populations from the state of Georgia, it would seem that this was beyond the enumerated powers of congress however, as was his use of federal troops to put down labor unrest
