Essay 1

Historians often characterize the period from Thomas Jefferson’s presidency to Andrew Jackson’s presidency as a dynamic, paradigm shift. For this assignment, describe at least three aspects of this shift, either good or bad, including how Jefferson’s and Jackson’s personalities or beliefs influenced each aspect either directly or indirectly.

Example:  Both Jackson and Jefferson claimed to represent the “common man” but did they really?  How did this claim influence their decisions while in office?

Use a 12 point font such as Arial or Times New Roman, 1″ margins,  and double space. Be sure to give your submission a descriptive title and include other heading information as specified in the MLA Style Guide. It is not necessary to include an abstract since this paper is so short.
