Thank you for telling what you have, what you need, and providing a link to the DBQ. I will do this as quickly as I can seeing as how it's due tomorrow.
A:Basically it's saying that the lower classes are suffering and are not being given the rights stated in the Consititution.
B:Jackson is saying that it's alot of power in a few greedy hands. He felt that the American people's money would not be safe when invested in the bank.
C:This one is tough...I think Webster is trying to say that Jackson's veto message is pitting the country against itself instead of stating a reason for his actions.
D:This woman is saying that she saw an educated population and didn't know why people were asking if people should govern or if the smartest should.
E:Um, I'm pretty sure that this is pretaining to Economic Opportunity. Obviously these people aren't very well off.
F:Well....I think it violates the freedom of speech and threatens to override a national ruling with a state ruling, although I'm not sure that's unconstitutional.
G:I'm guessing that this depicts equal economic opportunity with western expansion since most people could afford to travel west.
H:I think that the Court decision tread on individual liberty in the name of economic growth...Spock once said "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few", same concept.
I hope that this helps and that it did not come too late.

Hey!!! I did the same exact one in my class last week!!!
Yeah, pretty much what's above except for Document G!!! Trails of Tears :D!!! But make sure you use outside information, i.e. for Trails of Tears don't forget to mention important events like Worcester v. Georgia >>> Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and the Supreme Court's rulings and what Jackson and Georgia did...
For Harriet Martineau (Doc. D) I talked about her amazement of so-called "democracy" in America but then mentioned that she didn't think that the government did not appear as it seemed... Like Jackson said the government should be ruled by the 'common man' but in fact, from Harriet's view, wasn't because from one of her passages in Society in America (not from the Documents...) she mentions how when people can't decide who's right or wrong, they turn to the Supreme Court; therefore, "democracy" no longer exists since the Court represents the "majority" - hence, it's not chosen by the people but by the 'upper' class. Hope this helps... and I'm not late....heh heh :D.
The below statement is false.
The above statement is true. :confused: :confused: :confused:

So that's what that picture was...there was lots of shading and it was kinda hard to tell. Anyways, then it's the exact opposite of what I said.
Thanks for correcting me :D
