In 1828 when elections were held, Andrew Jackson ran again.
He gained many supporters just as before by supporting the people, saying that they should be the ones to rule the country, not the central government. He also believed careers in politics should be limited to a few years to keep corruption form seeping in.
During this time, white men all over America were gaining more voting rights so that not only privileged people could vote, but the poor could as well.
Men running for president had to think of ways to gain support from these people by being more like the common men they represented, allowing greater freedoms.
Jackson won the election of 1828 by gaining the popular vote among the people again and also more electoral votes than anyone else.
