What made the election of 1828 unique?
Politics became of interest to ordinary Americans.
Who were the people who made some influences in his life?
Sorry but this question makes no sense.
Why is History a past politics and politics present history?
Do you remember when America had a budget surplus, the wealthy had special tax breaks, and "trickle-down" was the phrase of the day? Businesses wanted smaller, less invasive government. There was big money to be made in the stock market, and bank loans were easy to get. Then it all went bad. The markets crashed, banks needed bailouts, and businesses closed. Soon economies were collapsing globally as our unemployment worsened. You're likely thinking of recent years, not 1929. The names have changed, but the politics and reasons are strangely alike. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana, 1905
Are politics inherently bad?
The way politics,today plays out and the politicians behave, it seems that politics is inherently bad.But can the society not be worse without politics?Yes,it will be.Our civilisation has not yet evolved to a stage where policiations and politics can be discarted.Politicians are the necessary evil.Instead of discarding the science of politics,it has to be reformed.Political reform has to be brought about on the pattern of other reforms. Improvements in the political system need to be brought on two fronts.One by enacting laws and strengthening judicial system,and other by building up character of politicians.Of course,much headway has been achieved on legal reformation,but nothing concrete has been done on character-building.There has been constant deterioration in character of politicians over a period of time.Concentration of immense power at the hands of politicians,has made them autocratic.It gives them leeway to do whatever they want to do.Quite recently, growing cases of arbitrariness,corrupt practices,discriminatory treatments at the hands of those in political power has risen by leaps and bound giving bad name to politics and politics.What politicians lack badly today,is character, Character has to be built up.
