Jackson And The Nullification Crisis

249 Words1 Page

Jackson was a frontier president. He used his position to shift the center of political power from the East to the West. He was an influential national figure who believed that the president is someone who symbolized the interests of the people. The president shouldn’t just be an executive, but a person who can run the government with the people’s will in mind. His goal was to end the government’s corruption and cure the country’s financial problems, which he thought were caused by the rich elites running businesses and other financial corporations. Sectionalism remained strong during this time. The Nullification Crisis also raised the question concerning how local interests, states’ rights, and government power should be balanced. Henry

    He and the Democratic Party he brought with him to Congress sought to protect the Constitution, which they strongly believed was the exact way the country needed to be run. The Jacksonian Democrats fought for a smaller and less influential federal government, that shared its powers almost equally with individual state governments and the people in charge of industry. The party upheld these standards partially, but the effects of their actions regarding them, didn’t exactly turn out the way they had intended. Ultimately, the Jacksonians may have had great intentions, but the power and greed that came with having control once it was earned twisted their views slightly, and made them more selfish, and less Democratic. They inspired the creation of new political parties and movements, which criticized them for their hypocrisy, and shaped the way modern Republicans think and act in the world

  • How Did Andrew Jackson Changed American Politics

    465 Words  | 2 Pages

    The founders of the United States did their best to create a government that would not allow erroneous decisions to greatly harm the nation. They set a percent of presidents being politically sound and well-known; their beliefs for how the nation should be handled were essential to their campaign. President Andrew Jackson, however, did not follow this system, instead winning primarily by his personality and popularity amongst the common American. While his actions in office often appeared to be for the people, most had a hidden selfish side to them that he easily covered up. With the election of 1828, Jackson radically changed American politics, focusing them more on public appearance and personal character than on intelligence and political views, making personality just as, if not more important than the actual politics of a political term.
