Gibbons V Ogden
Chapter 11
R.J smith
Gibbons v Ogden
This case involved New York trying to grant a monopoly on waterborne trade between New York and New Jersey. Judge Marshal, of the Supreme Court, sternly reminded the state of New York that the Constitution gives Congress alone the control of interstate commerce. Marshal's decision, in 1824, was a major blow on states' rights.
John C. Calhoun
John C. Calhoun was part of the New Southern Congress of 1811. He was a representative for South Carolina and one of the original War Hawks. Calhoun supported the Tariff Bill of 1811 because he thought the bill would lead to manufacturing in the south and cultivation of cotton. He later changed his mind, though, and opposed it because the bill was being used to enrich Northern manufacturers.
2nd Bank of the United States
It was a federal establishment operated by the gov't as an attempt to save the welfare of the economy after the War of 1812. It was part of Henry Clay's American System and forced state banks to call in their loans which led to foreclosures and the Panic of 1819.
Nicholas Biddle nicknamed "Czar Nicholas I," he was president of the Bank of the United States. He was known for his massive loans as bribes ("Emperor Nick of the Bribery Bank"). Jackson wanted to weaken the Bank and Biddle, so he gradually stopped making deposits, instead stowing his money in his "pet banks." Jackson destroyed the Bank in 1832.

Whig Party
The Whig party was a party that formed for those who opposed Jackson's views. It was created in the 1830s and the 1840s. When Jackson was elected, Clay and Calhoun formed a party for those who opposed Democratic views. The first Whig to become president was Harrison in the 1840 election. Whigs thought that Jackson's views were selfish.
Democratic-Republicans
Once shortened to "Republicans", when Andrew Jackson came into power he renamed the party "Democrats". The Jacksonian Democrats were very democratic and were opposed to the Whigs. Jackson was a

    Henry Clay’s American system consisted of the Second National Bank, the Tariff of 1816, and internal improvements. The Second National Bank was voted by Congress in 1816. The lack of the national bank during the War of 1812 created a bank vacuum which led to troubled local banks, and depreciated bank notes that hampered the war effort. Jeffersonians supported this, but Federalists thought of it as unconstitutional. After the war, Britain flooded America with cheap goods attempting to crush U.S. factories. The Tariff of 1816 was made to protect American manufacturing from the British. It imposed 20-25% duties on imports. This created a sectional battle between Calhoun, Webster, and Clay. “… [no] one interest in the country [should be] sacrificed by the management of taxation to another…” (Document A) Along with the others of the American system, internal improvements were a complete failure. Madison vetoed the bill for internal improvements. Jeffersonians saw it as a “state” issue, not the job of Congress. Most improvements were then made locally at the expense of state and local governments.…

    The Panic of 1837 was an economic depression resulting from Andrew Jackson's economic policies, which included the refusal to renew the charter for the Second Bank of the United States. Another policy was the Coinage Act by Jackson, which required payment for public lands to be in gold and silver. The actions of Andrew Jackson resulted in the accusation of Martin Van Buren, Jackson's successor, for causing the Panic of 1837. Van Buren's refusal to involve the government in the economy was said to have stimulated the damages. Bank irresponsibility, both in causing rampant speculation and by introducing paper money inflation was also a root of the problem. This was caused by banks issuing paper money they couldn't redeem in gold or silver coin; these notes then lost value over time, so that more were needed to buy the same thing as had been bought before for less.…

    The case of Dartmouth College V. Woodward was a famous decision from the United States Supreme Court dealing with the Contract Clause of the United States Constitution to private corporations. The case arose when the president of Dartmouth College was dismissed by his trustees. This lead to the New Hampshire legislature’s attempt to force the college to become a public university and it placed the power to appoint trustees in the hands of the governor. The College's book of records, corporate seal, and other corporate property were removed. The trustees of the College objected and wanted the actions of the legislature to be declared unconstitutional. The trustees brought Dartmouth alumnus Daniel Webster. Webster argued the college's case against William H.Woodward, the state-approved secretary of the new board of trustees.
