The Whig Party was founded in the winter of 1833-1834 in Washington by national republicans such as Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams, as well as Southerners such as W. P. Mangum. Initially the Whig party had as its axis of action the opposition to policies headed by Andrew Jackson, especially the transfer of the deposit of the Second Bank of the United States. The party also attracted the support of rights defenders from Southern states, such as John Tyler, offended by the strong nationalism that Jackson maintained against South Carolina during the Nullification crisis. The Whigs also promoted the supremacy of Congress over the executive actions taken by Jackson, such as moving deposits from the bank without the consent of Congress, or vetoing the bank's recharge. Ridiculing "King Andrew," the American Whigs took the name of the English Whig Party, which opposed the power of the monarchy and supported Parliamentary control.

Answer:

Some of the changes initiated by Francois Mitterrand included, raising the minimum wage in the country, abolishing the death penalty, providing more special benefits to the poor and nationalizing key industries and institutes.

Explanation:

Francois Mitterrand was a centrist politician who increasingly became a leftist as ge gained power. His stance was complete opposite of the previous French government and his policies had a lasting impact on the country.

Some of the things he did were lauded as revolutionary, including abolishing death penalty, providing more social benefits and introducing a livable wage for the poor.

However, his policy of nationalization has a detrimental impact on the business community and entrepreneurship in the country. Many investors lost confidence in the country and the economic went through a tough period.

His socialist policies can still be felt today in the country where labor laws and rights for unions can sometimes cripple the country.
