hat did Alexis de Tocqueville observe on his visit to the United States that reflected changes that were happening in the country during Jackson's administration?
• a strict divide between rich and poor
O a growing spirit of democracy and equality between classes
• O a government that limited voting rights strictly to the wealthy
• a growth in racial equality and increased rights for African Americans
Alexis de Tocqueville observed a growing spirit of democracy and equality between classes during his visit to the United States during Jackson's administration. He noted the increasing influence of the common people in politics and the diminishing power of the aristocracy. This reflected the changes happening in the country at that time, as Jacksonian democracy aimed to expand political participation to a broader segment of society. However, Tocqueville also observed the strict divide between rich and poor, suggesting that economic equality had not yet been achieved. He did not specifically mention changes in voting rights, racial equality, or increased rights for African Americans during this period.
So the answer
is:
• A growing spirit of democracy and equality between classes.
