How did Jackson abuse the power of the presidency through the spoils system? Is there anything in the constitution that says he was doing something wrong?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "Jackson spoils" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.
