Answer:

B. worried that only rich people were running America

Step-by-step explanation:

The era during President Jackson's presidency was known as the era of the Common Men.

Before his term, United States only allowed white men who owned property to vote for the presidential election. This mean that the power in the government was mainly controlled by the Rich people in United States while the common people had 0 political influence.

This was the reason why he demanded more equality among Whites. By the year of 1828, all states in America has abolished the property owning as voting requirements.
