Mass Politics

The emergence of mass politics is associated with the rise of the mass society, however the extent of the popular participation is essential in a nation where the power is shared (Federalism). Also the mass politics was essentially the inclusion of the population in political process.

Andrew Jackson was recognized by Jacksonian Democracy and this was because the power of the participation of the people and choose the government.

Jackson's policies followed the Jeffersonian Democracy, but unlike Jefferson's Republican Party, Andrew and his supporters began and make a new Democratic Party. Jefferson was supporting the voice of the people on the government, though Andrew Jackson wanted give to the people a kind of power as says the article 1 of the Constitution of United States, he was also caring about his power in the presidency. Jackson fulfilled his promise of giving people influence in government, because of this there were controversy about his methods.


''Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.'' By Andrew Jackson.

This quote talk about a kind of feeling that had those people that live in Democratic Governments, and the power that those people had to regenerate a country or rule.

Jackson was very focus in defend the rights of the people, so he start a fight against the banks specific in the Second Bank of the United States, he said '' The Bank is trying to kill me, but i will kill it.'' and he did so.
