Does modern American politics owe more of its character to Jacksonian or Jeffersonian democracy?

Question

Or has it become something that would be unrecognizable to either?

Answer 1

Oh I think they both would recognize it alright.

As in, what they both foretold would happen should the bankers ever get hold of this nation.

Modern U.S. politics owes almost none of its character to either Jefferson or Jackson individually or ideologically, except in the sense that there were corrupt rascals running for office in their times as well.

Answer 2

Politics has been a dirty business all the way back to 1776.
