He cared about lower economic classes, but only the white men in said classes. Jackson also excessively used his veto power, sometimes not with the peoples interests in mind. This also went against checks and balances, making him a less democratic leader.

(At all?  The question is asking how democratic was he? You then need to overtly state that he was not at all democratc if in fact that is your arguable claim) Even though he wanted the people to have more say and power in the government, it wasn't all the people. All the continued mistreatment of the American Indians in the Indian Removal act of 1830, the vetoing of the Second National Bank shows that Andrew Jackson was not democratic.]]> 2020-11-17 18:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933214141 https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933219688 Andrew Jackson was very democratic.  He caused many states to switch from legislature voting to the people voting, and he made many efforts to expand westward to benefit the country.

Although Jackson built his campaign on the rights of the common man, because of his actions regarding the vetoing of the national bank and the Indian Removal Act, he was only democratic on behalf of the majority, not the common men he was supposed to serve. +1]]> 2020-11-17 18:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933220479 https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933220802 Jackson was not very democratic because he represented more of a dictatorship than a democracy.  His removal of native Americans with the Indian Removal Act and the nullification crisis that forced congress to pass a force bill, showed that Jackson was not very democratic. (How?)]]> 2020-11-17 18:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933220802 https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933221311 Andrew Jackson was Democratic (how democratic?) since he supported the working class, passing laws to disestablish the federal bank, and reduced national tariffs on working class farmers.]]> 2020-11-17 18:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933221311 https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933224674 Andrew Jackson's presidency was not democratic. (So he was not democratic at all?  You need to overtly state this in order to respond to the prompt) He did not believe Native Americans were citizens and did not treat them equally with the Indian Removal Act. He also vetoed many democratic issues.]]> 2020-11-17 18:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933224674 https://padlet.com/kathryn_anderson/q8ty1giz8xr2eiuz/wish/933272539 Although Andrew Jackson led the country into a new era, he did not resemble a democratic leader. His leadership could be seen more as a dictatorship with actions like vetoing dozens of laws that affected the national bank and not caring to represent citizens that weren't white middle class men.
