Hello there!
Big Woes for the “Little Magician”:
1. Van Buren followed Jackson's coattails right into the White House, but Van Buren was no Jackson... Jackson was the people's president, a common guy himself.
2. Van Buren was very smart, crafty, experienced, and effective, but he lacked the "people's touch" and personality of a Jackson. While on the other hand, Old Hickory personified the rising "New Democracy."
..hope I helped!
The Fourteen Points was a statement of principles for world peace that was to be used for peace negotiations in order to end World War I. The speech and the points themselves demonstrate the Wilsonian commitment to openness in diplomacy, commerce and the freedom of the seas, and the idea that each national group should have its own state.
<span>The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law is an idiomatic antithesis. When one obeys the letter of the law but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the "letter") of the law, but not necessarily the intent of those who wrote the law.</span>
