Kymani · Answer 2

a. He thought a central bank would increase the value of paper money.

Explanation:

At first, Andrew Jackson's complaints against the Central Bank are of economic order. The president reproaches him for the fluctuation of exchange rates, as well as the fact that he is financed through citizens' taxes while only benefiting a minority of shareholders. But their disapprovals are also political: Jackson, defender of the weakest, refuses to abandon them under the dependence of an institution seeking monopoly.
