A Champion of Common man who connected the past events of America to form a
futuristic country
President Andrew Jackson, a man who received seventy percent of the total polling that took
place in the election in its true sense heralded a new era of democratic practices in USA where he
clearly safeguarded the interests of the masses by taking a veto on certain issues that were
benefiting a privileged section of the US society largely.
The reign of president Jackson is full of numerous such examples one among them is related to
the actions which he took to dilute the powers of the Bank bills proposed by the authorities, he
took a veto against this bill and this was one of the most decisive actions of his political career
that placed him in the list of all-time popular presidents of the United States. Jackson’s policies
related to practice control over the economies of the states were criticized by many political
experts; they dubbed them as the attempt of the central powers to dominate the states. However,
his veto against the bank bill clearly states that He was looking for a different kind of
decentralization (Grier, 2011).
Prior to the arrival of the Jackson, the culture of “elitist voice” was forming the background of
the executive decision making bodies. Jackson introduced a sense of commitment, he rendered
few promises to the masses of this great country and after winning the election he continued with
the same spirit (Simeone, 2014).
