History Question: Andrew Jackson?

In what sense did Jackson's veto of the bill to recharter the 2nd Bank of the United States reflect his democratic political philosophy? why was the bank such a source of public controversy? why did jackson consider the bank non-democratic? why did jackson consider the bank a "many-headed hydra"? what steps did he take to destroy the bank? what were pet banks? why did jackson see these as acceptable alternatives to the ational Bank? how did jackson's policies on the bank and other issues lead to the formation of the whig party?
