//Frayer Model on Nationalism & Sectionalism: **3-4-11**//

//The National Bank (p. 248-249): **3-16-11**// - The purpose of the Bank was to regulate state banks, which had grown rapidly since the First Bank of the United States went out of existence in 1811.
 * What was the purpose of the bank?

- Jackson and other Americans strongly opposed the Second Bank of the United States because they thought that the Constitution did not give Congress the authority to create it in the first place.
 * Why did Jackson oppose the Second Bank of the United States?

- Opponents recognized that state banks were more inclined to make loans to poorer farmers in the South and West, who were the very people who supported Jackson. By doing this, Jackson's supports would have been driven away.
 * What did Jackson's opponents do to hurt his chances of being re-elected as president?

- It became just another state bank.
 * What did the Second Bank of the United States become after Jackson's second term as president?

//Conflict over States' Rights on p. 249: **3-16-11**//

Deffinition: Those who favored giving more power to the states invoked the concept of **states’ rights**, based on the Tenth Amendment’s provision that powers “not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States” are reserved to the states.

- I think there should be an even distribution of power so that there is no conflicts, or atleast less conflicts.
 * Do you favor giving more power to the states or to the federal government? Why?

- A state can control driving laws, the federal government does not have a say. Also, the federal government cannot control the law enforcement of a state.
 * What examples can you think of that involve the concept of states' rights? What can states control that the federal government does not?
