The period called Jacksonian Democracy lasted from 1828 elections to the 1850s when the question of slavery in national politics became fundamental.

Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) was elected president in 1828. His policies laid out what the young Democratic Party would be. Democrats were low to middle-class men unhappy with the rise of a class that got rich without working on the production of goods, that is, bankers, merchants and speculators.

Jacksonian democracy was characterized by a focus on the ordinary man and by a dislike of bankers, speculation, and aristocracy. It also emphasized equality more than previous Jeffersonian democracy. In this period the right to vote was amplified by eliminating property requirements.

What impact did the policies of the renaissance popes have on the Catholic Church?

ale4655 [162]

Most of the Popes of the Renaissance period (1450-1600) were very 'worldly' (that is rich and immoral politicians) instead of real 'churchmen' (Adrian VI being an exception). Their policies for the most part were to.....
1. Build and take over the 'Papal States' of central Italy giving Popes an actual 'country' to be in charge of.
2. Break the power of and make war on rival 'great families' of Italy using foreign troops/ mercenaries (most of the Renaissance Popes were from rich Italian great families such as the Medici, Farnese, etc. they used their position as Pope to take out rival families such as the Orsini, Colonna etc.).
3.Being rich and used to riches they beautified Rome with art, jewels, gold, fountains, architecture.
The impact on the Church was that no one was really paying attention to running it, just using it, or paying attention to religious matters. To the truly religious the Popes behavior of the times were mostly disgusting. The 'Reformation' and Protestantism (the religious breaking away and starting their own independent Churches) started elsewhere in Europe during the period as a result.

How did austria's alliance system influence australia's decision to send serbia an ultimatum?

mr_godi [17]

Austria had an alliance with Germany prior to World War I which gave them assurance they would be protected if war was needed. Serbia had the backing of Russia and therefore Austria was going to need more than their own resources if they were to invade Serbia in retaliation for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Germany gave Austria a "blank check" meaning they would offer any and all assistance needed against Serbia and their allies. With German backing, Austria was more confident in issuing the ultimatum, which they knew would be rejected. Declaration of war triggered the complex alliance system in place in Europe prior to WWI.
