 * Document-Based Investigation:**

 In his time, Andrew Jackson was an extremely popular president. The public generally supported his policies and his expansion of power. During the ification crisis, Jackson threatened to send troops to South Carolina if necessary to force it to obey federal law. The song “Jackson and the Nullifiers” became a popular tune in the 1830's. These Southern men declined it, But soon they found they were unarmed, And petitioned to sign it. Sing Yankee doodle doodle doo, Yankee doodle dandy, Now like the snake torpid in a brake [lazy in a marsh], They think Nullification it is handy. Without their trade we are not afraid, But we can live in peace and plenty, But if to arms they sound alarms, They may find it not so handy. Sing Yankee doodle doodle doo, Sing Yankee doodle dandy, For Jackson he is wide awake, He says the Union is so handy. Our country’s cause, our country’s laws, We ever will defend, Sir, And if they do not gain applause, My song was never penned, Sir. So sound the trumpet, beat the drum, Play Yankee doodle dandy, We Jackson boys will quickly come, And be with our rifles handy. || -Yes, they were very willing to show their suppport to jackson.

 * Question: How did Andrew Jackson change the power of the presidency? AND was this justified according to the Constitution?**

Andrew Jackson changed presidency, through the Nullification act, Being the first president to exercise the Veto action. He was looked at as a man of evil ways or as a man for the greater good. Some people viewed his actions as a way of a new beginning and others looked at it as morally wrong and unlawful. Andrew Jackson was made famous by the Indian removal act, and he also won countless victories as a general in the revolutionary war. This made him a rather popular candidate for the citizens presidential votes.

Jackson was a Strict constitutionalists so the things he did were okay according to the constitution, Andrew Jackson changed presidency because he was the first to use his power to veto laws. This action was constitutional. Andrew Jackson showing the nullification act, where if a state does not find a law constitutional or if they don’t like it, it would be possible for them to reject this law.

Andrew Jackson showed that the federal government could collect taxes using military forces to strengthen their power. This is the elastic clause other wise know as the Military act, to collect money that was owed to the government. The song Jackson and The Nullifiers supported Jackson and in it there was a line that said “And if they do not gain applause, My song was never penned, Sir.” this means that if they don’t like it, then he didn’t do it. It was not written so he did not say it.

In the last image where the cartoonist shows Jackson fighting the creature, the Hydra. It represents the followers of Jackson, and how Jackson is a “Hercules” with his strengths but also with his weaknesses. He would be the hero for fighting the Hydra but at the same time when you cut off a Hydra's head twice the amount of new heads grow back, I interpret this as a way of the cartoonist telling us that this will cause controversy and war between the two sides; his followers and his enemy’s.
