I don’t believe this question truly applies to any of the candidates, but I would have to go with Andrew Jackson. Jackson won the popular vote and had the most total votes, but John Adams still won in electoral college. Therefore Jackson would be your answer because he received the most votes but failed to gain the majority of the electoral college. Have a nice day.
It was important because it was something like a first document on running a colony. Basically, if people wanted to sign it then they would and they would have to obey it. They would work hard and do their best to improve the colony and those not supporting the growth of the colony would be punished.
