Answer:
Irreverence and humor.
Explanation:
Mark Twain's "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is a satirical story about how the narrator was led to listen to a story about some 'animals' and their extraordinary qualities. The story shows the humorous story of these animals and their owner who would bet on anything.
By giving the names of the dog and frog as Andrew Jackson and Daniel Webster, the author is depicting the American West as a place that has no respect and just humor.
Andrew Jackson was the President of the United States who was tough and had a rumble way about him. Just like his namesake, the dog Andrew also was tough. He would be slow in the beginning but began attacking his opponents towards the end, winning the bets and gaining more money for his owner.
Daniel Webster was a great orator and an American statesman who was extremely intelligent. Twain may have named the frog to show the intelligent power of the frog, in relation to the other frogs.
In attributing these two names for the name of the animals, Twain is depicting the American West as a place of irreverence and humor.
