No one received the majority of electoral votes in 1824--due to this the top 3 candidates moved on to the House of Representatives for a vote.
In 1824, no clear majority winner came out of the electoral votes. Andrew Jackson, John Q. Adams, and William Crawford were the top three vote winners so they went onto the House vote. In the House, each state gets one vote--John Q. Adams ended up winning the election.

No, the ones with the power were the land owner, and this is the correct answer: (2) land.
