First Inaugural Address of Andrew Jackson, selected quotes
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1829

"Fellow-Citizens:

… In administering the laws of Congress I shall keep steadily in view the limitations as well as the extent of the Executive power trusting thereby to discharge the functions of my office without transcending its authority. …
In such measures as I may be called on to pursue in regard to the rights of the separate States I hope to be animated by a proper respect for those sovereign members of our Union, …
This I shall aim at the more anxiously both because it will facilitate the extinguishment of the national debt, the unnecessary duration of which is incompatible with real independence, …
that the spirit of equity, caution and compromise in which the Constitution was formed requires that the great interests of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures should be equally favored …
As long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending …"

In Section 3, Jackson identifies what he believes to be a threat to the independence of the United States. What is it?

A: Manufacturers
B: Compromise
C: National debt
D: States' rights

This is the term that is used to refer to the debt that the nation has ac rued from other nations over time. According to the president it was going to be harmful to the nation.

The reason is because one can not really boast of being free except they are in a state where they have little or nothing that they owe others.

From the words of Andrew Jackson, the plan was for them tó extinguish the national debt that America owed other nations. The reason for this is simple from what I have explained before.

For a nation that wants to stand on its own and truly say they are independent, they have to owe nobody. Because the nations owed could command them.

We can conclude that From the passage that we have here the factor that the president sees to be the threat to the independence of the nation is national debt.
