One of the most important changes that Jackson brought was a much more democratic society. You no longer had to be a rich landowner to be allowed to vote. Most of the states removed any religious or property qualifications for holding office. The number of voters increased nearly by seven times during Jackson's presidency.

By 1832, nearly all states adopted a new system for choosing for choosing its electors. Before Jackson's presidency, the electors were chosen by state legislatures. Now all the states in the Union, except South Carolina, had adopted a more democratic method of allowing voters to choose their state's electors. Al

Along with rotation, the Jacksonian Democrats reestablished the spoils system. Jackson fired any previous office holder who was not a loyal Democrat. He would then appoint a Democrat to that position. The spoils system and rotation were advances toward greater political democracy, because they showed that one man is just as good as another is.

Besides making progress toward greater democracy and equal economic opportunity, there was also greater equality of and individual liberty of the people. There was less poverty and the majority of people were middle-class citizens. Harriet Martineau wrote "I had seen every man in towns as independent citizen; every man in country a landowner." This is true, because most of the white population lived in good conditions during Jackson's presidency.

so, during Jackson's era, many state and local officials were elected to office, instead of being appointed. This gave the voters more control of their local government
