Detailed explanation-1: -The “Little Magician” was elected Vice President on the Jacksonian ticket in 1832, and won the Presidency in 1836. Van Buren devoted his Inaugural Address to a discourse upon the American experiment as an example to the rest of the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -Van Buren won the presidential election of 1836 by promising to carry on the policies of Andrew Jackson.
