One of the major objectives of the whig party was to check the power of andrew jackson.

This is true. They believed that Andrew Jackson had more power than any president before him and the party was created to support the idea that the congress should be more powerful than the president, which is why they opposed him on almost all things in question.

Jackson also valued the Union and was not willing to see it compromised or to let it disintegrate.
