Jacksonian Democracy is a term that refers to Andrew Jackson's beliefs on how America's political system should be structured. Known as the "champion of the common man" Jackson was a significant advocate of getting rid of property qualifications for the purpose of voting. Before this time, many states had laws that limited voting to white males who only held a certain amount of land. Thanks to Jackson and his idea of democracy, he helped to eliminate property requirements to ensure universal suffrage for white males.
