Answer 1

Those who objected to Andrew Jackson’s use of the veto argued that the president’s veto power should only be used when the president had a constitutional objection to a bill, and not when he merely disagreed with the policy.

Jackson was known for using his veto power extensively, particularly against legislation that he simply disagreed with rather than for constitutional reasons, which drew criticism from those who believed that the veto should be reserved for more serious issues relating to constitutional integrity.
