How was andrew jackson instrumental in the creation of the democratic party and growth of democracy?

Andrew Jackson influenced the creation of the Democratic Party and the growth of Democracy by:

A) Making the Democratic party a champion of the "common man"- Jackson himself was known as the "Champion of the common man" due to his humble upbringings and rise to national prominence. Jackson was an advocate of small farmers and giving them the ability to participate in politics. This is what lead to the growth of democracy.

B) Eliminating of property requirements in order to vote- Andrew Jackson helped to get rid of laws that limited voting to white males who owned a certain amount of property. This helped to grow American democracy because it allowed more people to vote. This would help him to win re-election.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
