How did the people gain more power during the Age of Jackson? Andrew Jackson’s presidency inspired a more democratic spirit in America. The twenty years after he became President are known as the Age of Jackson.

Jackson’s life story inspired many Americans. Early LifeMilitary Career Presidency He began life with very little and became an orphan at age 14. He earned the nickname “Old Hickory” for his strong leadership. He showed that ordinary people could serve in government.

Jackson received more votes than any other candidate, but he did not win enough electoral votes to become president. Jackson first ran for President in 1824, against three opponents. Henry Clay William H. Crawford According to the Constitution, the House of Representatives would declare the winner. Andrew Jackson John Quincy Adams

William H. Crawford Henry Clay had great influence as Speaker of the House. The House had to choose between Jackson and Adams, the top two candidates. Henry Clay John Quincy Adams Clay convinced the House of Representatives to elect Adams. Jackson was furious. Andrew Jackson

Adams had high ambitions, but he accomplished little as President. He planned to improve infrastructure, raise tariffs, and set up a national university. Most Americans did not trust him. Congress did not approve his programs. Adams served only one term.

Over time, the nation had become more democratic. In the 1790s, states began expanding suffrage. By the time Adams was elected in 1824, almost all adult white males could vote and hold office. However, women and African Americans, both free and enslaved, were still excluded from voting.

Extending the right to vote was part of a larger spread of democratic ideas. Ordinary people should vote and hold office. The wealthy should not have special privileges. Do not trust the government and banks, because they favor the rich.

By the election of 1828, growing divisions were becoming evident among American voters. Most new voters chose Jackson, and he easily defeated Adams. Jackson’s supporters called the election a victory for the “common man.” Jackson did best among small businesspeople and farmers. Adams was popular in New England.

Twenty-thousand people attended Jackson’s inauguration in Some people in the crowd became rowdy and broke furniture and dishes in the White House. A judge complained that the crowd had turned into a mob.

Once in office, Jackson replaced some government officials with his supporters, which was a common practice. A Jackson supporter declared, “to the victors belong the spoils.” The practice quickly became known as the spoils system. Jackson argued that putting new people in government furthered democracy.

The Age of Jackson saw expansion of democracy in the United States. More men could and did vote. Many men also joined political parties and worked on election campaigns.

The Age of Jackson also brought back the two- party system. By 1836, new political parties had formed. DemocratsWhigs These were the two major political parties until Opposed JacksonSupported Jackson Split from the Republicans in 1831 Formerly called National Republicans

Previously, a party’s members in Congress held a small meeting. The new parties adopted new ways of choosing their presidential candidates. After 1831, parties held large national nominating conventions. The new process was open to many more people, making it more democratic.
