Make your answers two short sentences

Answer 1

(a) The election of Andrew Jackson in 1828 exemplified the spread of democracy and the "politics of the common man," as it was driven by a new approach to electioneering that appealed directly to the interests and passions of a broader swath of the white male electorate. Jackson's victory was facilitated by new legislation that expanded voting rights by eliminating the property-ownership requirement for white males in many states.

(b) African Americans, both enslaved and free, did not share in the spread of democracy and the "politics of the common man" as they were largely denied the right to vote and participate in the political process. Moreover, enslaved individuals were subject to brutal conditions and a complete lack of political autonomy, while free African Americans faced widespread discrimination and exclusion from the political system.

(c) The formation of the Whig Party in the early 1830s demonstrated the growth of political parties, as it organized in opposition to President Jackson and the Democrats, promoting a platform that included support for the American System of a strong national bank, federal funding for internal improvements, and protective tariffs. This period marked the solidification of a two-party system that would dominate American politics for decades.
