Detailed explanation-1: -The Whig Party was a major political party active in the period 1834–54 in the U.S. It was organized to bring together a loose coalition of groups united in their opposition to what party members viewed as the executive tyranny of “King Andrew” Jackson.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Jacksonian Democratic Party. The Democratic party and its program emerged in stages out of the largely personal following that had elected Andrew Jackson President in 1828. As progressively defined by Jackson during his two terms, the party’s outlook was essentially laissez-faire.
Detailed explanation-3: -Beyond position-taking, the Jacksonians propounded a social vision in which any white man would have the chance to secure his economic independence, would be free to live as he saw fit, under a system of laws and representative government utterly cleansed of privilege.
