How did Andrew Jackson demonstrate the increased power of the presidency?

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson disobeyed the Supreme Court over removing Native Americans from their land. He fought the idea of a national bank. He threatened to bring the army to South Carolina if it nullified the Tariff bill of 1832.

Answer 2

Jackson was the first to make full use of the veto power. Previous presidents had used the veto only when they believed a bill was contrary to the US Constitution.

Jackson vetoed bills that he thought were bad for the country even when there was no constitutional question.
