Answer 1

The circle of advisers to president Andrew Jackson were known as Kitchen Cabinet. Kitchen Cabinet was used to mock at the officials. After becoming president, Jackson was afraid of the officials who had held the same jobs for years and so he dismissed all such officials and appointed ineffectual men to various posts of his cabinet to concentrate power in his hands. Only the secretary of State was believed to have some power. The real power in his administration was with the circle of friends and political cronies.

Answer 2

The unofficial group of advisors that President Jackson consulted with was called the 'Kitchen Cabinet' by his opponents. It was made up of his close friends, trusted journalists, lawyers and even some other close politicians.

Step-by-step explanation:

President Andrew Jackson was not happy with his cabinet and constantly had issues with them. He purged his cabinet but the problems persisted. Eventually, he started to form his own little 'ginger group' of close allies and associates who he could consult and discuss important affairs with.

This was unique in the history of the United States at the time and it was mocked and contested by the opposition for many years. However, the President remained steadfast and carried out numerous policy works after consultation with this close group.
