During his presidency, Andrew Jackson notably opposed **B. the Second National Bank**. He was a fierce critic of the bank, believing it represented a corrupt institution that favored the wealthy elite at the expense of the "common man." Jackson's opposition culminated in his decision to veto the recharter of the bank in 1832 and to remove federal deposits from it.
While he did appoint friends to government positions (often referred to as the "spoils system"), that was not something he opposed; rather, it was part of his political strategy. As for the Cherokee, he did support policies that resulted in their removal from their lands, particularly through the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Therefore, Jackson did not oppose the forceful removal of the Cherokee.
In summary, the correct answer is **B. the Second National Bank**.
