The election of what man over John Quincy Adams in 1828 ushered in the age of direct appeal to the mass of voters?

Answer Andrew Jackson

The election of 1828 ushered in the era of political campaigns. The 1824 election saw Adams win over Jackson due in part to the failure to gather around a single candidate among the Democratic-Republicans. This was the first election that the majority of states held conventions to endorse a candidate.
