Explanation:
The factor helping Andrew Jackson was that more people were getting involved in politics between 1800-1828. In some places, the property requirement to vote was dropped. This allowed more working class males to vote. As a result, Jackson had a greater chance of getting more votes because he said he represented the common man.
In 1824 only 25 percent of adult white males had been eligible to vote. With the decline in property and religious qualifications, more people voted in the 1828 elections. And in twenty-two of the twenty-four states, eligible voters rather than state legislators were to select their state's presidential electors. Jackson won 178 electoral votes to 83 electoral votes for Adams, Jackson having done well in all states except in populous New England and New Jersey.
When taking office in 1829, Jackson rewarded his southern supporters with appointments. The Jackson administration supported states’ rights, slavery and the low tariffs favored also by the South. Jackson was a most activist president, accused by his opponents of usurping power that belonged to Congress. Jackson was successful in foreign affairs, ending in 1830 a long dispute between the United States and Britain over reopening British West Indian ports to American commerce. And under Jackson more states lowered their property qualifications for voting, and by 1840 the number of white adult males eligible to vote had risen to 78 percent.
Jackson supported the common white male also in his policy of opening more land to him at the expense of Indians. In 1830, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. And, in the congressional elections that year, Jackson and the Democrats managed to defeat Crockett's bid for reelection.
Answer:
Pakistan lost its eastern wing on December 16, 1971, but the seeds of discord were sown much earlier. It’s not possible to pinpoint what led to the dismemberment of Pakistan and why the Bengalis who played a pivotal role in Pakistan Movement opted for a separatist path, but there were some significant developments such as the postponement of the inaugural session, on March 3, of the National Assembly after the December 7, 1970 elections that led to the splitting of a country in 1971.
Following the postponement of this inaugural session of National Assembly till the launching of ‘Operation Search Light’ on March 25 to crush the civil disobedience movement launched by the majority party Awami League (162 out of 300 seats of National Assembly in December 1970 elections), East Pakistan existed as a part of Pakistan. Events taking place after the military operation, however, diminished the hopes to save Jinnah’s Pakistan from dismemberment.
Around 47 years have passed since a chain of events unfolding in March 1971 deepened the wedge and hostility between the two wings of Pakistan leading to their violent break-up. How the unilateral postponement of the National Assembly session acted as a catalyst to accelerate the disintegration of Pakistan, and was there a thought process at the national level to visualise the grave consequences, remain unanswered questions.
