Jacksonian Democracy: Key Actions and Policies

Medium Period 4: 1800–1848 Jacksonian Democracy

The rise of Jacksonian Democracy in the early 19th century brought significant changes in American politics and society. Central to this movement was the concept of expanding suffrage and the belief in the common man's ability to participate in government. One major development during this era was the transformation of the Democratic Party under Andrew Jackson, which aimed to promote the rights of the 'common people' against what it perceived as a corrupt aristocracy. However, this movement also led to growing tensions related to issues like economic policy, federalism, and the treatment of Native American populations.
