Reading Questions

As you read pp. 410-414, answer the following guide questions:

1. How did the 'new' two party system that emerged in the aftermath of the 1824 election lead to bigger voter turnout?

2. In what ways did Jackson appeal to ordinary people?

3. Agree/disagree: Jackson's 'bark' was worse than his 'bite' in terms of carrying out his presidency.

4. Why did South Carolina advocate nullification of the tariff?

5. What fundamental argument remained even after the nullification crisis ended?
