What are the Differences between Jacksonian and Jeffersonian Democracy?

Answer 1

Both Jeffersonian and Jacksonian were fighting for the interests of farmers against the commercial and mercantile interests of the country.

The real difference is application. Jefferson was portrayed as a man of the people, but he remained a wealthy planter who tended to associate only with other elites. His mannerisms were much more upper-class. Further, while Jefferson talked about limited government, his actual practices as President differed. He maintained the Bank of the US, authorized the Louisiana Purchase and pushed for stronger party cohesion, all things many Democrats opposed in the ideal.

Jackson was also a wealthy farmer, but he had come from a poorer region and did not have particularly wealthy parents. He was much more comfortable intermingling with people of lower social and economic classes. He was also much more focused on attacking the mercantile classes, particularly his refusal to renew the charter for the Bank of the US.

Answer 4

A Jacksonian Democracy focused more on the common man because of the introduction of the popular vote. It changed the requirements to vote by taking off the requirement for people to own land making all white males eligible to vote. The Jacksonian Democracy also focused on agriculture more than industry. The Jacksonian Democracy abhored Henry Clay's American System and therefore he vetoed the bank.

The Jeffersonian Democracy focused more conservative. It was obviously before Jackson so the voting requirement was that White males who owned property could vote. Also during his time there was no popular vote that really mattered, it was just the electoral college that mattered. As with Jackson, Jefferson wanted a more agrian society however he kept Alexander Hamilton's bank in place.
