2. Jackson sent in troops when the south refused to acknowledge federal laws.
3. Jackson placed his supporters in cabinet positions with no experience.
4. Jackson spoiled the financial system beginning with the Bank of the United States.

Respuesta :

The answer is 3.

Andrew Jackson was notorious for silencing his opposers. Federal employees that opposed or denounced his ideas would get replaced by people that would support all of his plans. Family, friends, and supporters could be given a spot in the government. This led to corruption within the government and an attempt was made for this system to be erased with the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act.
