	Jacksonian democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacksonians believed in enfranchising all eligible white males, rather than just the propertied class, and supported the patronage system that enabled politicians to appoint their supporters into administrative offices, arguing that it would lead to increased public participation in politics.
		Jacksonian democracy had a lasting impact on allowing for more political participation from the average citizen, though Jacksonian democracy itself largely died off with the election of Abraham Lincoln and the rise of the Republican party.
		Jacksonian democracy was also known for the economic Panic of 1837 due perhaps to policy decisions made by Andrew Jackson himself.

	The Claremont Institute: Good Democrats and Bad Democrats
		What the Democratic Party has most liked to say about itself—that it is the party of the working man, the voice of the oppressed, the tribune of the people—loses some of its strut in the light of a rather long list of inconvenient facts, chiefly having to do with slavery and race.
		No, replied Schlesinger, the Jacksonian Democrats were genuine keepers of the Progressive flame; Andrew Jackson was a sort of antebellum FDR (and FDR a latter-day Jackson) restoring democracy and care for "the little guy" to the republic.
		But Jacksonian America was still an overwhelmingly agricultural republic, and the winning or losing of elections turned a good deal more on the skill with which parties organized voters—especially new voters—and capitalized on the other party's policy mistakes than it did on the clash of class interests.

	A Betrayal of Values (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In James Polk’s day, the Democrats were primarily worried about the power of an overreaching state: the Second Bank of the United States was regarded as too powerful and taken out of action, first by Jackson’s “pet banks” scheme, then by Polk’s independent Treasury.
		The Democrats still continue in the conceit that indeed they are the “party of the common man”.
		Not only have the Democrats long stopped being a party that was there to protect the individual from an over-powerful state, and that state being controlled by “rich and powerful constituencies”, rather, it is a party that serves constituencies that are working to make the state even more powerful.

		Democratic free soilers' views on race occupied a wide spectrum, but they were able to fashion new and vital arguments against slavery and its expansion based on the party's long-standing commitment to egalitarianism and hostility to centralized power.
		Democratic politicians such as David Wilmot, Marcus Morton, John Parker Hale, and even former president Martin Van Buren were transformed into antislavery leaders.
		Tracing the rise of antislavery free-soil politics among Jacksonian Democrats in the 1830s and 1840s, Jonathan Earle argues that previous scholars have distorted the history of both the Jacksonians and the antislavery movement by neglecting the growing number of northern Democrats who decided to oppose slavery and its expansion.

	H-Net Review: Lex Renda on Capitalism, Politics, and Railroads in Jacksonian New England
		For six decades, historians have debated the essence of the Jacksonian appeal and those factors that divided Jacksonian Democrats from their Whig opponents.
		Focusing on the Democrats in New Hampshire and Whigs in Essex County, Massachusetts, the author argues that Jacksonians did not reject capitalism, only the "illiberal" variety, whereas Whigs accepted it.
		Committed to a sharp distinction between the private and public spheres of economic activities, radical Democrats rejected the legitimacy of limited liability and the application of the government's eminent domain powers in promotion of railroad development.
