 * Do Now** - I celebrate the Fourth of July by doing my regular activities. Unlike the celebration in the past, I don't go to a huge party and we don't all come together united.



The purpose of the bank was to regulate state banks, which has grown rapidly since the First Bank of the U.S. Jackson opposed the Second Bank of the U.S because they thought that the Constitution did not give Congress the authority to create it in the first place. Jackson's opponents introduced a billl to renew the Bank's charter, of which Jackson promptly vetoed. The controversy was a major campaign issue. It was reduced to another state bank. He ordered his Secretary of Treasury to take the money out of the Bank and deposit it in select state banks.

Since the Hydra's heads always grow back more when you cut off one of their heads, it might symbolize their are more people for the Bank than with it.

**State Rights** - ﻿people who perferred giving power to the states, of which the concept is based on the 10th amendment stating that the powers not given to the U.S nor are forbidden by the states are given to the states.

It would depend on the circumstances. If I know that my federal government is corrupt and picked favorites, I'd obviously go for state rights. But perferably, I'd like to choose federal because it works on the nation as a whole rather than each individual state. Some examples are their own interpretence of gay marriages and drinking wine or having a driver license. The states can control what the federal government does not cover.
 * Do you favor giving more power to the states or to the federal government? Why?
 * What examples can you think of that involve the concept of states' rights? What can states control that the federal government does not?

1. The path that led to Andrew Jackson's presidency was his title of the "man of the people." He was also the "Hero of New Orleans" and used his popularity to win the presidency. In addition, he lifted a the voting restriction, allowing poor people to vote too, and many of these new voters supported Jackson. 2. The Indian Removal Act led to the Trail of Tears because the Americans had treated the Native Americans like animals and hadn't provided them what they needed so many of them died during their journey to their new home. They suffered from disease, cold, and hunger, and more than a few thousands of Cherokees died, thus it was called the Trail of Tears. 3. The national bank was a source of controversy because some people believed that the bank would help the people by regulating state banks and supporters of Jackson thought that since the Constitution didn't state that the Congress could make a bank, they didn't have the authority to create one in the first place.

Do Now When I first begin wrting an essay, I read the prompt over and try to figure out what I want to write. The first thing I do is write my thesis statement so it covers all categories. I think about it first and try the best method to write my topic sentence. Then I move into my other sentences and let my ideas all flow out. I change them if they need to be changed and I try to make it organized and easy to read.

**1) Is Andrew Jackson's policy of Indian removal a responsible effort for the benefit of all or is the policy a violation of the Constitution?**
Stage 1 : Violated the privacy of homes Descrimating the Indians because of their race The Indians are not violating any laws ||
 * Is responsible for benefit for all or violating the Consititution? || Jackson violates the Constitution ||
 * Evidence || Took away equal rights for all

Stage 2 :
During the period of Andrew Jackson’s presidency, Jackson was known as the “white devil” to Native Americans for initiating the Indian Removal Act which violated the Constitution. Although this duration of time was the “Era of Good Feelings” for Americans, this mark in history was a horrific nightmare for Native Americans. The Indian Removal Act was a simple policy, which was to relocate the Indian nations to an area west of the Mississippi River. Yet for the Americans who brought the Indians to their lands, they have intruded and invaded the privacy of the Native Americans. This is no different from the writs of assistance, when the British could search colonial homes when America was still part of Europe. Following after was the trail of tears,which discriminated the Native Americans as the Americans that led them out of their homes treated them no better than cattle or sheep. The Bill of Rights states that everyone has the "freedom of religion" and when the Constitution was written, the idea behind it was that "everyone is equal." Thus what Jackson done had violated the Constitution by taking away their equal rights as human beings and condemning and isolating them because of what they looks like and what they believe in goes against the Bill of Rights.
