Definición

  • Jacksonian Democracy refers to an ideology and political movement in the second quarter of nineteenth century America characterized by the widespread expansion of suffrage and a pervasive egalitarian sentiment (in terms of opportunity, not outcome). Its primary figure was President Andrew Jackson, while Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America (1835 and 1840) offers the most sophisticated contemporaneous appraisal of the time, sympathetic to its promise while critical of its excess.
