Hello there!

Your answer would be B). Andrew Jackson

A executive order is a order that is ordered by the President to give them the control over the federal government and could force the law.

The reason why "Andrew Jackson" would be the correct answer is because he used a lot of executive orders while he was in office that expanded the power of presidency. During his time in office, he ordered 12 executives orders. Since he ordered 12 executive orders, her was the first President of the Untied States to exceed 10 executive orders. Because of this, it made the powers that the presidents have expand more and more through out time.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
