Detailed explanation-1: -Jackson laid the framework for democracy, paid off the national debt, gained new lands for America, strengthened relationships with foreign nations globally and issued a new currency.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The appeal of Jackson to the ordinary man helped lead to the new period known as “the common man era.” As president, Andrew Jackson embraced the role of protecting “common men"-his decisions in matters such as the rotation of office holders can be argued as being in their interest.
Detailed explanation-4: -Common Man: the everyday, working class man – not a wealthy landowner or man of power like a politician. Andrew Jackson, despite his high office, became emblematic of the common man because he came from humble beginnings.
