Answer 2

Answer:

The Jacksonian Era was characterized by the idea that every citizen was equally important and that all should participate actively in government.

Explanation:

The Jacksonian era began in 1828, with the election of Andrew Jackson as President of the United States, and ended in 1854, with the emergence of the slave conflict and the escalation of tensions before the Civil War.

During his presidency, Andrew Jackson identified himself as the representative of the common man, thus moving away from the establishment formed by the New England businessmen and the Deep South landowners. In this way, Jackson had in the popular masses of the lower classes his main supporters.

This popularity was consolidated through a series of policies that aimed to expand the concept of democracy, by encompassing within the voters all citizens of the time (that is, white men, free, of legal age), expanding the electoral spectrum and generating a greater representation of the popular classes.
