Final answer:

Jacksonian Democracy was not linked to active government support for economic improvement. This belief was characteristic of the Whigs, who supported an active federal role in the economy, contrasting with Jackson's Democrats.

Step-by-step explanation:

The political change that was NOT linked to Jacksonian Democracy is 'Active government support for economic improvement'. Although the era was marked by a belief in the government reflecting the will of the majority and promoting the interests of the common citizen, the Democratic Party under Jackson generally favored limited government intervention in the economy. Jacksonian Democracy did support farmers and members of the working class, promoted affordable western land for white Americans, and opposed the special privileges of economic elites. However, the Whigs, not the Jacksonians, believed in an active federal government committed to internal improvements and economic progress.
