Answered by ExamLex AI

Andrew Jackson's vision of American democracy was one that emphasized the power of the common people and the expansion of political participation. He believed in the concept of "Jacksonian democracy," which sought to remove barriers to political involvement and give more power to the average citizen. This vision directly related to his own political power as he positioned himself as a champion of the common man and used this image to gain support and influence. Jackson's presidency was marked by his efforts to dismantle the political elite and expand the voting rights of white men, which he believed would strengthen the democratic system. His vision of American democracy was closely tied to his own political power, as he used it to rally popular support and push for policies that aligned with his beliefs. Overall, Jackson's vision of American democracy was one that prioritized the voice and influence of the common people, and he used this vision to bolster his own political authority.
