Jacksonian Democracy

The democrats mostly saw society as continuing quarrel between "The People" which included farmers, workers, and planters and "The Paper Money Aristocrats" which included people like bankers, and investors. Jackson's Democracy believed in a limited government kind of like the federalist papers the idea of limiting the government was to abolish monopolies and special privileges of the government. So in early America they knew the government couldn't have too much power. They also believed politics and religion should be kept separate. Democrats had most of the everyday common people on their side, not the money hungry bankers, investors, and stock jobbers. However when the democrats decided to do away with all banks and it turned out so much was going on with finances that they had to start banking up again.
A little later on they added the thoughts of equality and opportunity for the white men in the nation. Native Americas, African Americans, and any women were not considered equal. The way of the new democracy shaped the nation because it created a push for negotiations and compromise with decisions in America. Thus creating the foundation of the new American way of life.
