What Are the Shifts in Who Votes (Suffrage), How Candidates Are Chosen, and How Campaigning WorksYour textbook covers several shifts in suffrage
(voting) and in politics: 1.
The evolution from property requirements to vote
to white universal manhood suffrage about 1828. 2.
The shift in how candidates were chosen: o
From about 1800 to the 1820s, candidates were
chosen by a caucus (a talk within a group) of political party members who had
been elected to office (as in member of the House of Representatives or a
Senator). At that time, Being Secretary of State was considered necessary
preparation to run for President because of its responsibilities for foreign
policy. o
The Jacksonian period brought
a rejection of what they called “King Caucus” (with King being a dirty word
because of its association with King George III). The political party
convention replaced it—at that time a very volatile meeting of delegates who
choose the candidate for President. 3.
The Jacksonian era use
of the “spoils system” meant that federal workers chosen by their political
party did campaigning for their party as part of their jobs on the federal
payroll. Other things are
going on as well to alter voting that your book does not cover. Examples: § States determine
who votes. The NEW western states offered: o
Not only more opportunities for men to get land
(with property being traditionally a voter requirement) o
But also more liberal voting rules in hopes of
getting settlers. § By the Jacksonian era, citizens in the eastern states began to demand the same voting opportunities as
those in the west. § State laws
change, and voters (not the state legislatures) are deciding the electoral college results. |
