Whether the actions taken during Andrew Jackson’s presidency
better reflected a “common man” or, as his detractors claim, a king.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Andrew Jackson was considered "people´s president" in that he supported poor Americans and farmers. Indeed, he invited these people to his inauguration in Washington D.C., increasing his popularity among these Americans. So, although he had many problems with the United States Congress and called him a King for his authoritative ways, President Jackson can be best referred to as a “common man” because the decisions he made in favor of common American citizen, such as terminating the Second Bank of the United States.
