After Congress passed a bill to renew the charter of the Second National Bank in 1832, President Andrew Jackson vetoed it, citing his belief that the bank was unconstitutional and detrimental to the common people. He argued that it concentrated too much financial power in the hands of a wealthy elite. Jackson's veto was significant as it reflected his populist approach and set the stage for a contentious political battle over the role of banking in the economy. Ultimately, his actions led to the demise of the bank and contributed to the rise of state-chartered banks.
It was chartered in 1816.
The second national bank was unconstitutional because Andrew Jackson believed that the bank mainly looked out for the rich and powerful and the common man. You have to remember, that during Jackson's presidency it was also the time for the common age (where the president suppots the common people)

Andrew Jackson did not sign the charter for the Second National Bank because he believed that it concentrated too much power in the hands of a few wealthy individuals and posed a threat to the democratic principles he valued. He considered the bank to be unconstitutional and a tool for promoting the interests of the wealthy elite at the expense of the common people.
In July of 1832, President Andrew Jackson issued a veto of a bill that would have re-chartered the Second Bank. Jackson believed that the bank was corrupt.

The second continental congress created the National Government.
Nicholas Biddle's request to Congress to renew the charter of the Second Bank of the United States in 1832 sparked significant political controversy, ultimately leading to a confrontation with President Andrew Jackson. Jackson opposed the bank, viewing it as a symbol of elite privilege and corruption, which culminated in his veto of the renewal. This action intensified the debate over banking and the role of federal power, contributing to the rise of the Democratic Party and the eventual decline of the national bank system. The fallout from this conflict also led to economic instability and the Panic of 1837.
Jackson decided to destroy the bank by transferring about $10 million in government deposits to state banks. Without this money the national bank struggled to survive. Before this Jackson had protested against national banks vehemently and refused to renew the Second Bank's charter. He had also vetoed the bank (well known as the "Bank Veto).
Those were known as 'pet banks', a tactic employed by Jackson's administration to try to destroy the second national bank. The second national bank obviously collapsed eventually after its charter was not renewed, and the pet banks served to paralyse the system in the mean time. Ironically, Jackson's face is on the 5-dollar bill, despite the fact that he destroyed the national bank.
