Andrew Jackson replaced office holders in order to assure that not only would people of his party hold the majority in office, (thus creating a larger possibility that office holders would agree with his ideas) but so that richer people were not the only ones with these positions. If there were all rich folk in office, then they were more likely to make laws benefitting the smaller percentage of high-class citizens. However, when Jackson put more people from his party in office, they were more likely to make laws that would help the common man.
