=="My Sovereign, the People"==
This is a good starting point. A generation later the Democrat notion of [[popular sovereignty]] was the core issue of the [[Civil War]]. It was the subject of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. It is the basis of {{Jim Crow]] when popular sovereignty was restored after Reconstruction. It is the defining difference between Andrew Jackson, founder of the Democrat party, and Abraham Lincoln, founder of the Republican party.
Jackson and the Democrats interpret popular sovereignty to mean a majority can agree to enslave blacks, exterminate Indians, keep women in the kitchen, pass Obamacare, and make homosexuality and gay marriage legal. Lincoln said no. Lincoln said there are certain immutable truths which are not subject to popular sovereignty such as all men are created equal. To defend Jackson today is to corroborate the Democrat notion that the parties flipped, and the GOP is the party of the KKK.
True, Trump identifies with Jackson. But this more on a personal leave, as this article says, "as a man of action not of words." Politically, it was Jackson's willingness to take on the Central Bank of his day and the powerful old corrupt [[aristocracy]] (heirs of the greedy rich, privileged class of the Founding Fathers} who taxed the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden, while holding on to their [[Slave power]].
