History

liubo4ka [24]3 years ago

They sought a central government with limits on its powers They didn't want a government that would act as a dictator, as the King of England did. Many colonists believed that if they had stronger state governments, more power would be vested in them. This led to the creation of the articles of confederation. the articles of confederation had many problems, so eventually the constitution was written. The colonists finally settled on a constitution that left all powers not granted to the central government, to the States.

How had andrew jackson supporters prepared for the election of 1828?
Molodets [167]
In the election of 1828, he received about 56 percent of the popular vote and carried virtually every electoral vote south of the Potomac River and west of New Jersey. Yet Jackson's victory was the product of a diverse coalition of groups rather than of a coherent political party. In addition to the original Jackson men from the campaign of 1824, there were the followers of New York's Martin Van Buren and Jackson's vice president, South Carolina's John C. Calhoun; former Federalists; and groups of "relief men," who during the Panic of 1819 had bucked the established political interests by advocating reforms to help indebted farmers and artisans.
