Detailed explanation-1: -The electorate expanded during the Jacksonian Era because most states dropped property-holding requirements for voting. Since the nation’s founding, voting had been tied to property ownership.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Jackson Era, running from around 1820 to 1845, was a time of rampant growth and regional diversification. World views and ways of living changed as quickly as in the 20th century. Transportation was revolutionized and the foundation of a manufacturing economy was laid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Broadly speaking, the era was characterized by a democratic spirit. It built upon Jackson’s equal political policy, subsequent to ending what he termed a monopoly of government by elites.
Detailed explanation-4: -The years from about 1824 to 1840 have been called the “Age of Jacksonian Democracy” and the “Era of the Common Man.” By modern standards, however, the United States was far from democratic.
