What problems or issues did Andrew Jackson face?

As president, the main issues that Andrew Jackson faced
were issues that were based on class.  Jackson saw himself as the "tribune" of the
common people, the person who was to watch out for their interests.  This perception of
himself had a great deal to do with the issues he thought were
important.

The biggest issue of Jackson's presidency was
the "Bank War."  In this incident, Pres. Jackson chose to try to destroy the Second Bank
of the United States.  He felt that it was an institution run by and for the elites of
the country at the expense of the common people.

The Bank
War was the defining incident of Jackson's presidency.  It was typical of the major
issues he faced which were (in his opinion) issues of how to protect the common people
from the elites.
