Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expanded suffrage – The Jacksonians believed that voting rights should be extended to all white men. By the end of the 1820s, attitudes and state laws had shifted in favor of universal white male suffrage and by 1856 all requirements to own property and nearly all requirements to pay taxes had been dropped.

Detailed explanation-2: -Expanded suffrage helped Jackson win the election of 1828 because more people were able to vote now, of multiple different groups, helping Andrew Jackson by giving him more votes.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. He served two terms in office from 1829 to 1837. During Jackson’s presidency, the United States evolved from a republic-in which only landowners could vote-to a mass democracy, in which white men of all socioeconomic classes were enfranchised.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
