Jackson was a frontier president. He used his position to shift the center of political power from the East to the West. He was an influential national figure who believed that the president is someone who symbolized the interests of the people. The president shouldn’t just be an executive, but a person who can run the government with the people’s will in mind. His goal was to end the government’s corruption and cure the country’s financial problems, which he thought were caused by the rich elites running businesses and other financial corporations.
