Detailed explanation-1: -Jackson dominated in the South and the West, aided in part by the passage of the Tariff of 1828. With the ongoing expansion of the right to vote to most white men, the election marked a dramatic expansion of the electorate, with 9.5% of Americans casting a vote for president, compared with 3.4% in 1824.
Detailed explanation-2: -The presidential election of 1824 represents a watershed in American politics. The collapse of the Federalist Party and the illness of the “official candidate” of the Democratic-Republicans led to a slate of candidates who were all Democratic-Republicans.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the election of 1828 show the growth of democracy? The election of 1828 promoted political parties and introduced mudslinging to the elections. What reason did the government give by forcing the Native Americans to relocate? The government wanted more land to advance western expansion.
