Equality, opportunity, and the new political culture of democracy.

Expanded economic opportunity challenged the idea of equality because it allowed some general public to become much richer than others. This generation has dealt with its political affairs the fundamental tension that surrounds opportunity and equality.

Equality, opportunity, and the new political culture of democracy. The Democratic Party system sought after to safeguard both equality and opportunity. It did so by defining equality to mean equality of opportunity, and protection opportunity through administration power. The new political culture of democracy integrated the use of conventions to make nominations, the championing of "the people" against "aristocracy," the acceptance of white adulthood suffrage, the reception of political parties as necessary for the working of the sound system.

Democracy and Race Democracy strengthened racism in society. Democracy and racism are linked because racism offers people a shelter from the uncertainties of living in a market-oriented, supposedly democratic society. E.g. most black Americans remained in slavery, but even those who were free were subject to harsh prejudice and led lives of adversity and exclusion

The Nullification Crisis The rise of democracy also involved the concentration of power in the ruling federal. This was seen most clearly in the nullification crisis. When economic of a state is depressed and fearful about its future, it endorsed the theory of nullification. This eradicates any federal laws in which the state believed legislative body had exceeded its lawful authority

Summary This opens with an account of public whose career exemplified the new trends of democratic politics. This is where the public is a position to counter the unconstitutional laws through the theory of nullification. Democracy also allows people to have freedom to express their ideology and blow whistles in unconstitutional way of behavior
