Question

PLEASEEE HURRY!!! Suffrage increased in America, especially between the first and second time Andrew Jackson ran for president. How did this increase in voters influence our democracy and how is this reflected in Andrew Jackson’s actions as president?

Answer 1

The Jacksonians believed that voting rights should be extended to all white men. By the end of the 1820s, attitudes and state laws had shifted in favor of universal white male suffrage and by 1856 all requirements to own property and nearly all requirements to pay taxes had been dropped. As president, Andrew Jackson strengthened the power of the presidency, defended the Union, gained new respect for the United States in foreign affairs and pushed the country toward democracy.

I hope this helps!!
