Answer 11

why?

Answer 12

The Election of 1828 By the election of 1828, Jackson’s supporters called
themselves Democrats, not Democratic Republicans. Jacksonian Democracy
triumphed in the presidential election of 1828. With 56 percent of the popular
vote and two thirds of the electoral votes, Jackson defeated Adams. A rowdy
crowd attended Jackson’s inauguration in Washington, D.C. Their raucous con-
duct symbolized the triumph of the democratic style over the alleged aristocracy
represented by John Quincy Adams.
Jackson owed his victory to his campaign manager Martin Van Buren, who
revived the Jeffersonian partnership of southern planters and northern com-
mon people. The party promised a return to Jeffersonian principles: strong
states and a weak federal government that would not interfere in slavery. Only
those principles, Van Buren argued, could keep sectional tensions from destroy-
ing the Union.
