oneの意味
第7代アメリカ合衆国大統領のアンドリュー・ジャクソンについて書いた文章の抜粋です。
Jackson did not enter the presidency with any strong political ideas. As I
mentioned before, the election of 1828 was a very ugly one and some ways, a
very personal one. But in general, Jackson was a strong supporter of the rights of
the individual states to make certain decisions on their own behalf.
There is this constant tension, this constant pull in American politics between the national
government, the federal government, and the state governments. How much
power should the national government have versus the state governments? This
is a constant theme in American history, and in the Jackson presidency, it’s one
in which the states tended to be the winning party – tended to be favored in
terms of the power they had.
