Based on the passage, one of Jackson's reasons for opposing the Bank of the United States was:
He wanted the government to stop giving unfair advantages to the rich.
The law that created the Bank of the United States made it the national bank until 1836. As that year got closer, most people thought the Bank of the United States was doing a good job. So, Congress passed another law in 1832 to allow the Bank of the United States to continue for another 20 years. But President Jackson vetoed the law. In the adapted passage below, Jackson explains one of the reasons for his veto.
Read the passage. Then answer the question below.
Adapted from Jackson's 1832 veto message:
If the government would give favors equally to the rich and the poor, it would be a blessing. But in the case of the Bank, it is not doing that. The government gives special privileges to the rich men who run the Bank. We need to take a stand against giving any more special privileges to the rich.
