Hmm mm mm - - - personality rather than politics plays an important role in determining the politics of J Q Adams and Andrew Jackson hence the term Jacksonian Democracy.


J Q Adams clung to a stubborn view that somehow, and even J Q was uncertain how, there should be cooperation between the Executive and the Legislative Branch, that together two two forces should work to resolve issues important to America. J Q Adams imagined an Executive holding learned discussions with Cabinet Members, reaching a consensus and then bringing those views to the Legislative who in turn would discuss how best to implement Executives policies.





Andrew Jackson was far more combative. He was actually in agreement with J Q Adams in that the Executive/President ought to consult with advisers before presenting those ideas to Congress BUT - - - - instead of holding out an Olive Branch, Jackson preferred to wield lit like a club. Jackson believed in a strong Executive, one who set the course of policy whereas J Q Adams felt that since the Congress represented to views of the assorted States that their policies ought to be given consideration and even accepted as valid.





Jackson was firmly convinced that his views were foremost, that most Congressmen (there were no women in Congress them hence it was a more screwed up place), that most Congressmen were self serving hacks who had to slapped around until they conceded to the Presdients dictates.





J Q Adams tried to be a deal maker and that proved his undoing and later as a Congressman he learned that Jackson was right, most Congressmen of that era (oh how things have changed - - - - ha) were venal crooks.

Reply:According to my textbook:





Andrew Jackson (Dem.)


"Jackson and his followers were not egalitarians. They did nothing to challenge the existence of slavery; they supervised one of the harshest assaults on American Indians in the nation's history; and they accepted the necessity of economic inequality and social gradation. Jackson himself was a frontier aristocrat, and most of those who served him were people of wealth and standing."





also - other things I know of him:


He was called the "President of the Common Man", He presided over the "democratization" of the American government, it was during his term that more people were given the privelege of voting (went from 'landed' white male citizens to all white male citizens), he embraced the spoils system, and believed in "equal protection and equal benefits" for all white male citizens, he ordered the removal of Indians from their homes (Indian Removal Act of 1830), he did many things for the banking industry including getting rid of the Bank of the US, and many other things I can't think of right now. Here is a page on AJ from the white house's site:

John Quincy Adams (No party affiliation):


could not find much about him except that during the election of 1824, there was only 1 official political party %26amp; that was the Republican party and Adams was not affiliated with that party and did not run under any party. He believed in the nationalist system and/or Clay's American System. He was actually elected by the House of Representatives as no candidate of that election had a majority of the electoral votes and that left the "decision" up to the House of Reps. Jackson was an opponent and complained all during Adams term that the election was corrupt ("Corrupt Bargain") and continuously blocked anything he could that was put out by Adams and his supporters (talk about a sore loser!)

Something to keep in mind: our political party system today is very, very, very different to what it was in the 19th century. If you want to make comparisons between presidents %26amp; party affiliation, you should consider looking at what it meant to be a Republican, Democrat, Whig, Socialist, etc. during that particular candidates time and not compare it to what it means today.


Hope this helps!
