1. what action did president jackson take regarding the nullification crisis?

Explanation:

1. President Andrew Jackson viewed the Second Bank as an elitist institution that favored the wealthy over ordinary citizens, so he took direct steps to eliminate its federal support and power.
2. During the Nullification Crisis (centered on South Carolina's refusal to enforce federal tariffs), Jackson prioritized upholding federal authority while also accepting a tariff compromise to avoid armed conflict.

Answer:

1. He vetoed the recharter of the Second Bank of the United States in 1832, and then moved federal funds into state-chartered "pet banks" to weaken the national bank, effectively dismantling it by the end of his presidency.
2. He firmly opposed nullification, declared it unconstitutional, pushed Congress to pass the Force Bill (authorizing him to use military force to enforce federal tariffs in South Carolina), and also reached a compromise tariff to defuse tensions.
