What steps did andrew jackson take to strengthen the authority of the federal government

We can recognize one specific historical instance that very clearly represents Jackson's ideological relationship towards the extension of federal power.

This would be 1832's Nullification Crisis:

Since the Revolutionary War, there had been tension between North and South over tariffs. Congress had previously passed a raise in tariffs on manufactured goods, scandalizing Southern agricultural states. South Carolina and a few other states went as far as to threaten to leave the Union with the Ordinance of Nullification, which rejected the tariffs imposed by the government.

Jackson was outraged by the South's response and demanded Congress to pass a Force Bill that permitted the Federal Government to use force against the states that tried to overpass federal law. After this first step to prevent the Union from breaking up, he agreed to lower the tariffs in a compromise that helped keep balance for the time being.

Hope this helps!

the civil war was a fulfillment and completion of the constitution, not a revolution against it. changes in culture and society surely affected political life. lincoln hoped to bring the north and south together after the war by healing the nationand making people lose their resentment.
