Jackson generally favored policies that benefitted the common man (who were mostly farmers) and was against interests of the easterm merchant classes. Killing the Bank of the US was the most well known act against eastern bankers, who were hated by western and southern farmers. He supported low tariffs and opening up more lands in the west to farming.

As far as "reforms" Jackson's main reform was that of the banking system, by using a series of pet banks to replace the Bank of the US. He also got rid of a large number of political elites in federal jobs to replace with men who favored empowering small farmers.
