JACKSON. vs Democracy

With the Native Americans and Americans both turning to Jackson for support during conflicts, Jackson both abided and defied the Constitution (and State laws). He claimed that he couldn't deny the Constitution and the rights of the different states in order to help out the different indian nations (Cherokee, etc.), especially when they decided to create their own independent nation. However, he did defy it by strongly supporting the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and ignoring the Supreme Court's proposals, further helping the farmers and other Americans that desired the land under Native power.
