During the 1820's and 1830's, the United States government was introduced to the Jacksonian Democrats who thought themselves to be the leaders and strict enforcers of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of the equal economic opportunity. Jacksonian Democracy was the belief that the people should have direct governing of themselves; this concept praised liberty of the individual and enforced their basic principles of the government clinging to states' rights and federal restraint in social and economic affairs. Jacksonian Democrats fell short of fulfilling and supporting their principles and beliefs by their actions because of their selfish interests; they wrecked the national finance structure, treated humans in an inhumane manner, and demolished the amity of society and the value of community.

For this same reason, since the bank did not benefit to Jackson's followers and he had a great dislike for Nicholas Biddle, director of the bank, the recharter of the bank was vetoed by Andrew Jackson.
