Andrew Jackson Was Not a Democrat

slew voted Jackson as president with the title of a participatory. He was completely the opposite his ruling was to a greater extent like the practice of tyranny. Democracy is a political system in which supreme power depends on citizens who fanny elect people to represent them, and believe in mass rule. Jacksons judicature was non democratic because he lacked the with the power of the people concept, He practiced the Indian remotion Act, the gratify system, and inflames the poor against the rich for the National Bank. DOC G) Democracy is basically known as power to the people, and the majority rule. Methods of electing presidential electors changed when Jackson started ruling. Even though more people were voting instead of legislative (DOC A), Natives were quiesce not allowed to vote. The common people were universal-white-manhood which only benefitted them. (DOC B) To be democratic, all offices must fall under imperious control of the people, (DOC D) which it wasnt. Jackson didnt represent power to the people.When Jackson was president, they had the spoil system. The spoil system doesnt represent democracy what so ever. In the politics of the United States, a spoil system is a system where a political party, after winning an election, gives government jobs to its voters. (DOC C) If Jackson were a true democratic, he would give jobs to people who qualified and deserve them, not just because they are of the same affiliation. (DOC I) Another condition why Jackson was not democratic is because he practiced the Indian Removal Act. DOC J) You can tell it wasnt democracy because he had one thousand Seminoles, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Cherokee Indians forcibly moved to Indian district West of Mississippi. (DOC L) In democracy, it means everyone is entitled to be equal, and Jackson sending people away and taking their land is obviously not treating someone equal. Jackson didnt support being a democratic because (DOC F) Andrew Jackson claims that out o f 25 bank directors 5 are elect by the government and 20 by the citizen stalk holders.He finds this to be an evil to our country when the majority of these people are actually chosen by stalk holders. Daniel Webster claims that Andrew Jackson seeks to inflamed the poor against the rich. (DOC G) This could disrupt a democratic society. (DOC E) The cartoon icon shows that he is willing to use his veto to just stop anything he doesnt like. This is abuse of power. The ikon also shows him as a king, we all know that a king isnt an elected official.Jackson wasnt a democratic because he lacked power of the people concept (DOC A,D,H,B,N), He practiced the Indian Removal Act, (DOC L,K,R,M), The spoil system,(DOC C,I) and inflames the poor against the rich for the National Bank (DOC E,F,G). The best piece of evidence that he wasnt democratic was Jacksons slave holdings. Jackson served as president starting in 1829. At that time, Jackson had over 90 slaves. In the mid 30s, Jackson owned more than cxx slaves. If he truly believed that all people deserved equal, he wouldnt own slaves. Jackson did not practice democracy like people believed he did.
