Comparison of jeffersonian and jacksonian democracy 1. Political To what extent was universal white manhood suffrage achieved? Jefferson - Believed property requirement was a test of character that man of initiative should be able to meet Jackson - Property requirements for voting had been eliminated Which citizens were considered eligible for office holding? Jefferson - Believed the educated elite should rule, although he proposed education for all to prepare poorer individuals for public office Jackson - Believed all men were qualified to hold office and that political positions should be rotated How were candidates for president chosen? Jefferson - Candidates were chosen by caucuses of political leaders Jackson - Nominating conventions were introduced during Jackson’s time 2. Economic Jackson concepts of the “chosen class”? Jefferson - Yeoman farmer as the “chosen class” Jackson - included planters, farmers, laborers, and mechanics in “chosen class” Industrialization? Jefferson - Originally feared the consequences of industrialization Jackson - Accepted industry as essential to American economy How did the Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge decision affect the access to corporate charters prevalent in Jefferson’s time? Jefferson - In J’s time corporate charters were granted to favorites of state legislators & often implied monopoly rights to a business Jackson - Roger Taney, Jackson’s appointee as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, ruled in Charles River Bridge decision that corporate charters should be available to all who chose to risk starting a business Attitude toward the Banks? Jefferson - Both disapproved, originally at least, disagreed with a loose interpretation of the elastic clause Jackson - saw Bank as a monopoly of the rich 3. Social Attitude toward slavery? Jefferson - Owned slaves, saw slavery as an evil that time would eradicate Jackson - Owned slaves, but seemed little interested in abolition Attitude toward equality for women & American Indians Jefferson - Neither man saw women or American Indians as equals Jackson - Had a particularly negative attitude toward Native Americans Education? Jefferson - An educated man himself, believed education was necessary for office-holding and for preparing citizens for participation in a democracy Jackson - Had little education & believed education was relatively unimportant Obstacles to Upward Social Mobility? Jefferson - Education & ambition were keys to success; however, he was never able to build support for his proposed system of public education Jackson - Ended the Bank & with it, control over credit, CRB decision opened opportunities for individuals to get corporate charters & thus rise on both economic and social ladders. Jackson, a self-made man, believed his economic progress had accounted for his own upward social mobility & others could follow his example 4. Religious Separation of Church from Politics? Jefferson - Most state constitutions had eliminated established churches after the Revolution; Jackson - Massachusetts, the last state to maintain an established church, ended the practice in 1834
