Andrew Jackson is noted for the creation of a whole new democratic era with in American history. Amongst his highly regarded accomplishments were arousing the "common man" to be intrigued by governmental affairs and effecting democracy to satisfy the same "common man’s” desire. Jackson could not make such foundational changes without he nations support. Jacksonian Democrats, as they progressively became know as, carried a significant number of fellowship during the 1820’s and 1830’s. They encouraged most of the issues that President Jackson saw importance in. Men of Jacksonian stature regarded themselves highly because they recognized and realized their responsibilities as American citizens and founders. They realized that their political leadership had a true divine purpose to enhance our nation as well to protect and serve the American people under the ideal of popular sovereignty. The Jacksonians condoned their self-view of one another in their genuine attempts to guard the United States Constitution. Such was done in two separate significant ways, one advocating equality of economic opportunity and advancing political democracy. A headlining characteristic of the Jacksonian Era was the support for equality of the common man. As the United States established its dominance in size and age, the stratification of society was assuring. In the 1820’s class division became a major dilemma due to an unchanging society. This greatly defaced the American ideal of equality and economic opportunities for everyone. On numerous occasions.upper class used their status and governmental power to thrust themselves away from the lights of the lower classes, establishing a larger decline from the richer and the poor. They began to grasp the public’s attention and perspective of oppression by the upper class through many different affairs of the time. Such actions were frowned upon by some, significantly Daniel Webster in relations to Jackson’s bank veto. This pertained to the Bank War, which was the primary economic bartering system of the time period. President Jackson vetoed the recharter of the Bank of the United States. He did so because he believed the bank served an unconstitutional purpose and thought that it was a monopoly that only the rich benefited. This mixed public support and brought the class issue to the attention of many people. Although some saw Jackson’s decision to refute the national bank as negative one, the Jacksonians remained in support him. Reasoning was because they viewed it as an effort to support and exemplify equality, also to demolish a monopoly of the elite rich. A similar instance that dealt with monopoly and equality of economic succes was the Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge case in 1837.Chief Justice Taney ordered that new enterprises could not be limited by the privileges implied established by previous charters. This ruling to allowed for competition and free enterprise. Political democracy was one of the reoccurring interests through out the Jacksonian Era. Jacksonian Democrats viewed it as their responsibility to provide adequate views with in the government controlled by the people, as the Constitution had originally intended. Government had been seen as something for the inconsequential aristocrats, not the general population in America. This notion died off when Jackson’s "spoils system" associated with his policy of rotation in office allotted for more people to become involved in governmental affairs. Political supporters were often rewarded with political offices. This established the interest of the nations population in government in both positive and negative ways. Attendance of the voters drastically increased in the election of 1828. During Jackson’ reign as president, democracy gained a much more important meaning of rule by the people’s eyes. Once most property requirements for voters were abolished, shortly after, even more involvement became noticeable.

Although Jacksonians wanted to be seen as protectors of individual liberties, they could not truly establish that desired label. Due to the ethnic discrimination that was often exhibited regarding Native Americans and blacks, to be quite specific, the society created was not entirely equal. During their regime, the constitutional rights of white men were highly respected through out the land, and in retrospect, issues such as the right vote, rights were even expanded. For the duration of the 1830’s especially, western expansion erupted. As the American population steadily increased, so did the need for farmland and residential living space. Americans wisely, expanded west and only saw a lesser amount of obstacles in their way, as the saw back east. President Jackson proceeded to disregard Supreme Court orders that granted the Indian’s rights and to continue for the relocation of the Indians farther west into America. In 1830 Congress agreed on the Indian Removal Act, which allowed him to do as he pleased. The forced departure of the Native Americans became known as the "Trail of Tears", as a horrendous period of challenges, illness, and many died. African Americans were also discouraged against for the duration of the Jacksonian age, as slavers in many states in America. The United States had not taken actions such as other countries had set examples on the issue of the abolition of slavery, most notably, Mexico in 1830. Slavery was a controversial issue that could not be ignored, for many, including the Jacksonian Democrats still acknowledged slavery as equality. There for Jacksonian Democrat’s view of themselves is inaccurate. They did not fully endorse the right of individual liberty of all American inhabitants. Jacksonian Democrat’s strongly continued to pass on their belief of one race being lesser to another. If one group or more is singled out or not treated in regards of full equality, they did cannot say they were the guardians of the Constitution. In the end, these men are held accountable for many of their nationalist ideas but one specifically taints their historical legacy.
