What set andrew jackson’s presidency apart from previous administrations?
a. jackson let congress take the lead in policy-making, deciding later which actions to support and which to veto.
b. jackson always consulted with congress first before working toward policy-making.
c. jackson assumed command of the policy-making process instead of waiting for congress to take the lead.
d. jackson battled congress for the lead in policy-making, resulting in very little being done during his first term.

The correct answer is C. Jackson assumed command of the policy-making process instead of waiting for Congress to take the lead.

Unlike other presidents, Andrew Jackson used his power of veto and the party leadership to assume command. Other presidents were used to vetoing only bills they believed that were unconstitutional. Jackson set a new precedent and used his power of veto as a matter of policy.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
