Which description of Andrew Jackson is correct? A. declared war on England to avenge the burning of Washington B. defended the rights of Indians and African Americans C. was the first common man elected president of the United States D. granted the Supreme Court the power of judicial review

Sagot :

The correct answer is C, as Andrew Jackson was the first common man elected president of the United States.

Andrew Jackson was an American statesman, seventh president of the United States (1829-1837). Jackson was born at the end of the colonial era somewhere on the unmarked border of North Carolina and South Carolina. He came from a newly emigrated Scottish and Irish middle-income family. During the War of Independence of the United States, he served as a messenger to the revolutionaries. At the age of 13 he was captured and mistreated by the English, which makes him the only American president who has been a prisoner of war. Later he became a lawyer. He was also elected to the congressional office, first to the House of Representatives and twice to the Senate.
