The statement that is TRUE regarding "Jacksonian Democracy" is:
**D. Long-established political traditions were challenged.**
Jacksonian Democracy, associated with the presidency of Andrew Jackson in the 1820s and 1830s, emphasized greater democracy for the common man, challenging established political norms and elites of the time. While it did expand suffrage to more white males, it did not open up suffrage to all citizens (A), it did not initiate an era of Republican dominance (B), and it certainly did not end the idea of the common man in politics (C). Instead, it celebrated that idea.
