Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1829 to 1837 was marked by significant political and democratic changes. He founded the modern Democratic Party and implemented reforms that expanded voting rights for white males. Jackson's presidency also saw the introduction of the spoils system and the use of a 'kitchen cabinet' for advice.
