Yes.

To determine which section of Andrew Jackson's inaugural address best proves that he supported the rights of state governments, we need to carefully analyze the given options.

A.) The option states that the Congress and the President have too much power to ensure the liberty of the people. However, this statement is not directly related to supporting the rights of state governments.

B.) The option suggests that as President, Jackson wants to explore the limits of power within the office he has been elected to. While this statement acknowledges the need to understand and respect the limits of power, it does not specifically address the rights of state governments.

C.) The option states that the government is only a force for good as long as it protects people's rights and stays within established limits. This statement aligns closely with supporting the rights of state governments as it emphasizes the importance of protecting individual rights and respecting the boundaries of authority.

D.) The option suggests that the office of the President does not have the same limits as Congress and thus has a greater responsibility to the people. This statement does not directly address the rights of state governments.

Based on the above analysis, option C is the most accurate answer. By expressing that the government must protect people's rights and operate within established limits, Jackson supports the rights of state governments.
