In what year did Andrew Jackson begin his first term as president?

Explanation:
Presidential terms start with the inauguration, the moment the new president officially takes office. Andrew Jackson won the 1828 election and was sworn in in 1829, so his first term began in 1829. The other dates correspond to either the election year (1828 or 1832) or a year in between terms; the next inauguration for a second term would be in 1833. So the correct year is 1829.
