President Jackson: Champion Of The Common Man
Although President Jackson campaigned himself as a “champion of the common man”, after his inauguration, Jackson passed a series of executive orders in order to expand his presidential power to give more authority to the common man because he was a common man himself and believed the government exhibited too much power over the people.

After coming to office in 1829, Jackson played a large role in executing the spoils system and the nullification crisis to give more power to the common man by creating a one sided government system. Jackson began his Presidency by creating the spoils system, which allowed him to fire high rank tenured government officials and replace them with loyal party members, “Jackson rejected the traditional republican

    The election of 1828 is viewed by many as a revolution. Just as the French Revolution marked the end of aristocratic rule and the ascent of the lower classes, the election of Andrew Jackson as the seventh president of the United States likewise marked the end of the aristocratic “Virginia Dynasty” and the ascent of the common man. While Jackson was a hero of the people, having routed the British at the Battle of New Orleans and having clawed his way from poverty to wealth, he was elected primarily because his followers believed he stood for certain ideals. The Jacksonian Democrats were self-styled guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity.…

    Once Jackson became president, his kinglike actions became even more apparent. Although the spoils system had been used before in the United States, no prior president had used it to the extent with which Jackson did. The idea of a spoils system is to replace politicians from another political party with one from the same party as you. This sounds like a great idea as long as the newly appointed individuals are qualified for the job. However, President Jackson regularly appointed people that had no experience or training in the field where Andrew placed them. In fact this led to great unrest in congress; any legislation that Jackson didn’t like, was either shot down by being out voted by his supporters or he himself vetoed it.…

    Jacksonian's viewed themselves as guardians of the constitution, political democracy, individual liberties, and equality of economic opportunity. Many of his followers from that time tended to agree but a lot of people today look back and disagree with each of these assumptions. I believe that he was a keeper of the constitution and political democracy. Depending upon your outlook, Jackson was a guardian of individual liberties, even with his oppression of African American slaves, Indians, and women. His equality of economic opportunity was more towards the common man that the elite but gave that common man a larger chance for equality with the elites without allowing the elites a greater chance to increase their wealth.…

    A president, in the eye of Andrew Jackson, was the "representative" of the people. Not only that, his presidency was said to be that of the "common man," because his beliefs reflected those of the common man. He was the first American president to be born on the frontier, and as he declared, he governed on behalf of "the humble members of society- the farmers, mechanics, and laborers" (Tindall/Shi P.332). The presidential office he entered in 1829 would not be left the same after he left in 1837. Jackson's personal attitude and conflicts influenced the outcomes of his policies and actions, and as a whole strengthened the presidential office at the expense of congress. This can be shown through issues such as internal improvements, the tariff, and his demise of the National Bank.…

    In 1824, there was pressure for him to run for president because others believed he was the exemplification of the common man. During his first bid for presidency, both him and his rival did not gain enough votes for either candidate to become president. He ran again 1828, as the head of the democratic party, won with a landslide victory. At the start of Jackson’s term, he and his vice president, John C. Calhoun, fought over the proper role of the federal government in fostering national economic development and states' rights. As tensions grew high with him and Calhoun, an issue arose in which South Carolina wished to succeed from the union. He threatened them with military action, but did not follow through on his threat due to a new compromise tariff. Jackson, also fought to make sure that the federal government should have little role in the development of the country. ‘During his first term this belief, combined with his distrust of aristocrats and speculators, convinced him that the federal government charter granting the private Bank of the United States the right to handle all government funds should not be renewed in 1836.’ (O'Brien, Steven G. "Andrew Jackson.") The bank voted to issue a bill in which the bank could recharter, but Jackson stood with his belief and vetoed the bill. After his first term in office, he ran for re-election in 1833, and won another landslide victory, but this time he had Martin Van Buren as his vice president. With his next term in place, he continued that in which he had started, and had his treasury secretary move all of the government deposits out of national banks into smaller banks. The CEO of the bank in his prior term, still fought to keep the nation’s money in his bank. He tried to do this by making interest rates higher and making money scarce. When unemployment occurred, the CEO was forced to back down and granted credit…

    President Andrew Jackson had several ways of ensuring political democracy thus he is regarded as a guardian of it. The spoils system is an example of Jackson stressing political democracy. According to Senator William Marcy the spoils system was acceptable since the benefits of winning should go to the winner. He supports this thought by saying, "To the victor belongs the spoils." The spoils system allowed Jackson "Old Hickory" to rid his opponents of government jobs and award them to his supporters the "Hickoryites." Another example of political democracy is rotation in office. Rotation in office is what Jackson utilized to incorporate the "common man" into a government role. Jackson believed that any man was capable of doing the job. "Every man is as good as his neighbor," he declared, "perhaps equally better." The inevitable dilemma that arises from Jackson's notion on political democracy is that illiterates, incompetents and crooks obtained positions of public trust. The result of this was Samuel Swartwout, the collector of customs at the port of New York, stole a million dollars from the government.…

    Politically, Jackson had many true democratic beliefs, such as universal male suffrage. He had lowered the voting qualifications so all white males, regardless of property ownership, could vote. Also, as shown in the Methods of Electing Presidential Electors chart (Document 1), the number of states using voting from the people were rising compared to the number who used the legislature. In 1816, before Jackson’s influence, all admitted states had selected electors through the legislature, and nearing the end of Jackson’s presidency in 1836, all states but one used selection by the people. Another example of Jackson’s democratic beliefs would be The Spoils System he established, which replaced corrupt federal employees with supporters in public office. Jackson says in his letter to Congress (Document 6) “The duties of all public offices are…so plain and simple that men of intelligence may readily qualify…no one man has any more…right to (government jobs) than another.” This was meant to give all men the right to run for office, which is a basic democratic idea, but the opposing side should also be recognized that it could be undemocratic if uncontrolled. Overall, even though some of his ideas could be interpreted…

    Jackson correlated to the ‘common man,’ which is why many respected and appreciated him. Jackson also believed that the government was only helping the rich. The document “Jackson's inauguration” states, “Thousands and thousands of people, without distinction or rank...waiting the appearance of the President...greet him with a shout that splits the air.” People who were not rich or powerful, and just regular loved Andrew Jackson, because he could relate to them. This is what made his presidency so great; he could persuade anyone who was ‘common’ to agree and relate to him. In fact, the election of 1828 started the era of the ‘common man’ because of him. The article, “Andrew Jackson and the Era of the Common Man” states, “Andrew Jackson’s election showed that a man's’ lineage did not ensure a place in office. Rather it was the candidate’s…

    From the time Andrew Jackson took office in 1829 to the time he finished his presidency in 1837, he drastically changed the economy so that the common man benefited. Because the US economy was still running primarily on manufacturing in the north and farming in the south during the whole time period, Jackson could appeal to the majority of the citizens and find ways to help the common man rather than the business.…

    The presidency of Andrew Jackson was a time of growth and saw many significant changes that would positively and negatively affect America. During his presidency, the idea of nullification came about when South Carolina refused federal tax collectors and nullified the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 because it hurt the state financially. South Carolina threatened to secede and as a result Jackson responded by sending federal troops to ensure tariffs were collected because he viewed this as an act of of treason (Palmer). Jackson’s actions during the nullification crisis prevented South Carolina from seceding and avoided a civil war.…
