Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The best action that demonstrates the argument that the Age of Jackson saw a shift of political power from the ruling elite to the common man is the "Universal male suffrage." This policy significantly expanded the electorate by removing property requirements for voting, thereby allowing a broader segment of the population, particularly the working class and poorer citizens, to participate in the political process. This shift was a clear move away from the elitist policies of earlier periods, where voting was restricted to wealthy landowners. In contrast, the "Popular election of the President" is not as strong an example of this shift. While it did increase democratic participation by allowing the general population to have a direct say in the election of the President, it did not have as immediate and widespread an impact on the political power dynamics as universal male suffrage did. The popular election of the President was a significant change, but it did not enfranchise as many people as the removal of property requirements for voting. One critical response to the political changes during this period was the concern that the expansion of suffrage and the increased political participation of the common man could lead to mob rule and the tyranny of the majority. Critics argued that without property requirements, the electorate would be less informed and more susceptible to demagoguery, potentially destabilizing the political system. ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The expansion of suffrage during the Age of Jackson marked a significant shift in political power from the elite to the common man, reflecting broader democratic trends in the United States.
