O a. The common man knew what was right by instinct
O b. Everyone was equal which applied only to white males
O c. As soon as they were freed, ex-slaves were entitled to the same rights as the white men
O d. Every person was as competent as the next

Answer 1

Jacksonian democracy promoted political equality for white men, but not for ex-slaves and women.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the statements about Jacksonian democracy are true except for option C. As soon as they were freed, ex-slaves were not entitled to the same rights as the white men. Jacksonian democracy, named after President Andrew Jackson, promoted the idea of political equality for white men, but it did not extend this equality to African Americans or women. Moreover, option A is not entirely accurate either, as the common man was not necessarily deemed instinctively knowledgeable.
