Background: The presidential election of 1828 has been called the 'rise of the common man' election. The election was also nicknamed the 'Revolution of 1828'. It was a revolution that was in response to the 'Corrupt Bargain' of 1824 election when Jackson lost his bid for presidency when no candidate got a majority of the electoral votes. Reason: Replacing Caucuses (held in private) with Conventions was more democratic. This was a response by the people as an upwelling of support arose against 'back room deals' and candidates chosen by caucus without enough public input. Significance: Andrew Jackson was the first president not born of privilege. The election was the first time that individuals began to fight against corruption in politics.

If you had an AICD device implanted five years ago and have been told it needs to be replaced how long do you have to get the procedure done?

Get it done ASAP. While it is always possible that a few days wait is ok, you have to remember that this device is responsible for restarting your husband's heart if it goes into a fatal arrhythmia. His life is dependant on this device working properly. If, for some reason, it needs to be replaced, get this done NOW!
