The Second Bank of the United States was founded in Philadelphia in 1816. It was mainly a Republican project and a response to the expiration of the First U.S. Bank's charter. It was created as a safe place for federal funds, and because state banks were seen as insufficient for handling financial needs. Currency differed by state, counterfeit money was everywhere, and state banks often issued notes without any gold or silver, the only trusted currency, to back them up. The bank was not met everywhere on friendly terms.. Maryland, in an effort to destroy the Baltimore branch, passed laws to heavily tax it, but the Supreme Court removed those laws, strengthening the central federal power.

He indirectly not only goes against his said ideology, but his actions that corresponded with that ideology as well. Today, we identify him with this ideology, called Jacksonian Democracy.

They definitely feared large government, and powerful government, and went so far as to say that compulsory education was an infringement on the parent's independent right to educate their children.
