Question

During which era did the common man make the most gains toward achieving the american dream of individual rights

Answer 1

Answer:

Jacksonian Democracy

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson believed that the common man should have the same rights regarded to the elite people. Jacksonian democracy, as became known this period in American History, brought the two-party system and changed the rules in business and banking. Other points of this period can be sum upon these points:

• Suffrage, even if not universal, this suffrage gave to the common man the possibility to vote.  
• Government limitation, to not create an autocracy and tyranny.
• Freedom of trade, once Jackson believed in the concept of laissez-faire. One way or another, this is one of the most preeminent aspects of the Jacksonian Democracy. Jackson was opposed to government monopolies granted to banks. He believed that a national bank existed only to deceive ordinary people and to fulfill the wishes of the wealthy elite.
