6.) Who won the Election of 1824
Although Jackson seemed to have won a narrow victory, receiving 43 percent of the popular vote versus just 30 percent for Adams, he would not be seated as the country’s sixth president. Because nobody had received a majority of votes in the electoral college, the house of representatives had to choose between the top two candidates.Slide8

The number of electoral votes is derided by adding the number of senators (100) plus the number of Representative (435) plus three (3) additional votes for the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia was awarded three electoral votes with passage of the 23
rd
amendment in 1961.Slide9

8.) What section of the country voted him? (1828)
The 1828 presidential election was one of the dirtiest ever, and Jackson believed, with some reason, that his wife Rachel was driven to an early grave by charges of
immorality.
The most remarkable thing about the Jackson's side though was an unprecedented level of political organization. The new democratic organization kept in close
correspondence.Slide13
9.) Jackson actively CampaigningPresident William McKinley’s innovative 1896 presidential campaign, the first to include a permanent campaign manager, and in which a candidate actively campaigned on his own behalf, is considered by innumerable political scientists and campaign scholars to be the first “modern campaign.” In reality, the aforementioned distinction belongs to the 1828 campaign of Andrew JacksonSlide14
10.) Spoils SystemIn the politics of the United Stated, a spoils system ( also known as a patronage system) is a practice in which a political party, after winning an election, gives government jobs to its supporters friends and relatives as a reward for working toward victory, and as an incentive to keep working for the party as opposed to a merit system, where offices are award on the basis of some measure of merit, independent of political activity.Slide15
11.) Kitchen cabinet When President Andrew Jackson took office in 1829, his official Cabinet was fractured by factional disputes, largely resulting from the fierce rivalry between Vice President John C. Calhoun and Secretary of State Martin Van Buren. The infighting was so pronounced that the Cabinet became virtually ineffectual, and Jackson stopped holding Cabinet meetings. He turned instead to an unofficial group of trusted friends
advisors
, mocked in the rival press as the “Kitchen Cabinet.” Francis Preston Blair was a valued
member.Slide16
12.) Veto power used by Jackson
This paper examines Andrew Jackson's role in establishing the foundations of the Presidency. He is generally considered by historians to have been one of the nation’s most vigorous and powerful chief executives. He advanced a new vision of the President as the direct representative of the
people.Slide17
13.) Nullification The nullification crisis was precipitated by South Carolina's bitterness at Jackson's failure to urge a major downward revision of tariff rates. Protective tariffs were considered unconstitutional, inexpedient, and inequitable throughout the South, but resentment was most extreme in South Carolina. There, the tariff was a great
symbol of southern oppression, and nullification became the appropriate remedy. As devised by Calhoun, nullification’s chief theoretician, in his Exposition(1828) and Fort Hill Address (1831), each state retained the final authority to declare federal laws unconstitutional.Slide18
