While the Jacksonians regarded themselves as the guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equal economic opportunity, they in fact violated all of these. The most prominent violations were the vetoing of the United States Bank, and the Indian Removal Act.

Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and Henry Clay. No candidate won the majority of the electoral votes, so, according to the Constitution, the House of Representatives had to choose the winner.? Henry Clay, the Speaker of the House, was thus eliminated although he did have much say in who became president.? Clay convinced the House to elect John Quincy Adams as president.? Adams agreed to make Clay the Secretary of State for getting him into office.? Much of the public felt that a "corrupt bargain" had taken place because Andrew Jackson had received the popular vote.? ? A Yankee Misfit in the White House
