Why did Jacksonian democrats consider the political deal between Adams and Clay "corrupt"?
Wittaler [7]

The 1824 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION marked the final collapse of the Republican-Federalist political framework. For the first time no candidate ran as a Federalist, while five significant candidates competed as Democratic-Republicans. Clearly, no party system functioned in 1824. The official candidate of the Democratic-Republicans to replace Monroe was WILLIAM H. CRAWFORD, the secretary of the treasury. A caucus of Republicans in Congress had selected him, but this backing by party insiders turned out to be a liability as other candidates called for a more open process for selecting candidates.

The outcome of the very close election surprised political leaders. The winner in the all-important Electoral College was Andrew Jackson, the hero of the War of 1812, with ninety-nine votes. He was followed by JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, the son of the second president and Monroe' secretary of state, who secured eighty-four votes. Meanwhile Crawford trailed well behind with just forty-one votes. Although Jackson seemed to have won a narrow victory, receiving 43 percent of the popular vote versus just 30 percent for Adams, he would not be seated as the country's sixth president. Because nobody had received a majority of votes in the electoral college, the House of Representatives had to choose between the top two candidates.


After losing the Presidency to Andrew Jackson in 1828, John Quincy Adams was elected to the House of Representatives where he served until his death in 1848.

Henry Clay, the speaker of the House of Representatives, now held a decisive position. As a presidential candidate himself in 1824 (he finished fourth in the electoral college), Clay had led some of the strongest attacks against Jackson. Rather than see the nation's top office go to a man he detested, the Kentuckian Clay forged an Ohio Valley-New England coalition that secured the White House for John Quincy Adams. In return Adams named Clay as his secretary of state, a position that had been the stepping-stone to the presidency for the previous four executives.

This arrangement, however, hardly proved beneficial for either Adams or Clay. Denounced immediately as a "CORRUPT BARGAIN" by supporters of Jackson, the antagonistic presidential race of 1828 began practically before Adams even took office. To Jacksonians the ADAMS-CLAY ALLIANCE symbolized a corrupt system where elite insiders pursued their own interests without heeding the will of the people.

The JACKSONIANS, of course, overstated their case; after all, Jackson fell far short of a majority in the general vote in 1824. Nevertheless, when the Adams administration continued to favor a strong federal role in economic development, Jacksonians denounced their political enemies as using government favors to reward their friends and economic elites. By contrast, Jackson presented himself as a champion of the common man and by doing so furthered the democratization of American politics.

Martin Luther launched a movement called the Reformation, which led to a new form of Christanity called Protestantism. Write two
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The Reformation, or Protestant Reformation, is a movement launched by a German monk called Martin Luther, this Reformation was caused by several events at the beginning of the 16th century. These causes include:

  • monetizing religious activities
  • excesses on the part of the Catholic Clergy
  • using Latin as the primary language for printing the Bible.

Explanation:

There was a rift between the Catholic Church clergy and the peasants caused by the fact that the clergy led extravagant lives indulging in greed and excesses, and ignoring the needs of the populace in the process. Added to this is the fact that the clergy often do not speak the local languages which led to a loss of their prestige with the locals. The people then started criticising the Church.  The grievances the peasants had against the Church were: that the Bible was only printed in Latin, and this was under the control of the church by a system of censorship; the Catholic Mass was also in Latin, which prevented the people from checking whether the priest was actually saying the correct things; the church monetized religious acts and sold tickets of forgiveness from sins for money, which suggested that the rich could buy their way into Heaven while the poor peasants could not.; and most of the priests did not know enough about Christianity, because religious posts were often sold to the highest bidder, consequently they told the people many different things that had little to do with what was written in the Bible.

Also, in 1515, the Pope tried to raise money for the rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica through a campaign where preachers sold indulgences to people, promising that money could release souls from purgatory. Whereupon Martin Luther, a German Catholic monk decided that enough was enough, and he sent his 95 theses to the local archbishop in protest in 1517. The theses were points that Martin Luther wanted to debate, most of them relating to the problems caused by the sale of the indulgences. He said that selling forgiveness for money urged people to commit more sin and made them give less money to the poor. Martin Luther’s 95 Theses were translated into German and sent to many places, garnering the people’s support, which the Catholic Church tried to stop in vain, Luther was then considered an enemy of the Pope and was expelled from the Church when he refused to surrender his ideas. This was not part of Luther’s plan in the beginning, he merely wanted to reform the Catholic Church and not separate from it or create a new religion; but his sending the 95 theses to the Church sparked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.
