1. Jacksonian Democracy refers to the political philosophy of United States President Andrew Jackson and his supporters. Jackson's policies followed in the footsteps of Thomas Jefferson. Jackson's Democratic Party was resisted by the rival Whig Party. More broadly, the term refers to the period of the Second Party System (1824-1854) when Jacksonian philosophy was ascendant as well as the spirit of that era. It can be contrasted with the characteristics of Jeffersonian democracy, which dominated the previous political era. The Jacksonian era saw a great increase of respect and power for the common man, as the electorate expanded to include all white male adult citizens, rather than only land owners in that group.

In contrast to the Jeffersonian era, Jacksonian democracy promoted the strength of the executive branch and the Presidency at the expense of Congressional power, while also seeking to broaden the public's participation in government. Jacksonians believed in enfranchising all white men, rather than just the propertied class, and supported the patronage system that enabled politicians to appoint their supporters into administrative offices, arguing it would reduce the power of elites and prevent aristocracies from emerging. They demanded elected (not appointed) judges and rewrote many state constitutions to reflect the new values. In national terms the Jacksonians favored geographical expansion, justifying it in terms of Manifest Destiny. There was usually a consensus among both Jacksonians and Whigs that battles over slavery should be avoided. The Jacksonian Era lasted roughly from Jackson's 1828 election until the slavery issue became dominant after 1850 and the American Civil War dramatically reshaped American politics as the Third Party System emerged.

2. Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States. He was elected in 1828 and remained in office for two terms, until 1836. To many Americans, Jackson was known as being an action hero, and became acknowledged as the symbol and spokesperson for the "common man". He was also known for having a strong-will and quick temper. These traits truly set Jackson aside from previous government leaders and Presidents. However, through his distinctive personality, Jackson was able to reconstruct the office of the President and politics in general, and witness tremendous change in American society.

This time, 1815- 1840, is known as the age of Jackson. It is a time of politic and social change. It is fundamental of this period to explore the role Jackson played in reshaping the face of politics, due to the development of the Democratic Party and national banking system. It is also important to examine the social changes of this time. This includes the change in gender roles, and also the vital religious revivals that occurred. Lastly, it is important to investigate the conflict with Native Americans, due to Jackson's policy of Indian removal.

3. The "Era of the Common Man", through the 1820's and 1830's is also known as the "Age of Jackson". The Jacksonian Democrats thought of themselves as saviors of the common people, the constitution, political democracy, and economic opportunity. To the extent that they attempted to support equal economic opportunity and some aspects of political democracy
