What are the similarities between Jackson and Jefferson?

Jefferson's and Jackson's ideas of who should participate in governance:

A point of clarification:

In Jefferson's time, there was a political party which believed that only wealthy men should govern.  Wealthy menwere best qualified by theexperience of making andmanaging their wealth,to know how government could help and how it could hurt.  Therefore, theoretically they could avoid bad government, unless they decided to use government to help just themselves, and not the whole country.

Jefferson believed that anyone who had a sufficient means of supporting himself so that he was not dependent upon any other man for a living, should be allowed to vote and govern.  He believed that people who were not self employed would be controlled, in how they voted, by their boss or by the richest candidate.  He believed these people should not be allowed to vote.

ByJackson's time, Jefferson's idea of who should be allowed to vote was pretty much accepted, so that small farmers and small business men could vote.  Jackson believed that every, free, adult, white male should be allowed to vote, irrespective and regardless of how he made his living.  (In Jackson's day and in Jefferson's day, almost no one believed women would ever vote, nor slaves, and most Indians were not citizens and did not want to be citizens of the U.S.)  Jackson believed that if all free, adult, white males voted, the will of the majority would thus be expressed and he thought that the majority could never be wrong (which I don't agree with).

So, Jefferson's idea of the common man, did not include as many people as Jackson's idea of the common man.
