Andrew Jackson.
His era (Jacksonian democracy) expanded popular participation in elections and shifted presidential electors toward direct popular choice. He dramatically expanded use of the presidential veto as a policy tool (notably the Bank veto) and his handling of the Nullification Crisis and Indian Removal helped define enduring tensions between federal authority and states' rights.
