Between 1828 and 1852, the Second Party System transformed the American political landscape, marked by heightened public involvement and the rivalry between the Democrats, led by Andrew Jackson, and the Whigs, united by Henry Clay. This period saw unprecedented political engagement, with increased voter turnout, participation in rallies, and the rise of partisan media. It was also characterized by the emergence of smaller, yet significant parties such as the Anti-Masonic, Liberty, and Free Soil parties, each addressing specific political issues. Central to this period was the ideological divide between the Democrats, who championed "the sovereignty of the people" through public demonstrations and a belief in majority rule, and the Whigs, who emphasized the rule of law and constitutional safeguards to protect minorities from majority tyranny. This system set the stage for the evolution of American politics, leading to the emergence of the Third Party System and shaping the political discourse for years to come.
