Answer:
Cause: Jackson's support of the spoil system. > Effect: Strengthened party loyalty.

Cause: Signing of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. > Effect: The Trail of Tears.

Cause: Elimination of property requirement to vote. > Effect: 30% increase in voter turnout.

Cause: Implementation of rotation in office. > Effect: Elimination of office-holding class.

Explanation: Andrew Jackson's most significant failure as president was to allow the state of Georgia to evict the Cherokee Indians from their indigenous lands. His economic decisions contributed heavily to the Panic of 1837, and his practice of giving cronies political positions introduced the "spoils system" to American politics.
