PLEASE HURRY

Answer 1

After the election of 1824, Andrew Jackson viewed John Quincy Adams as “a dishonest Democrat who dealt unfairly with other politicians.” In the US presidential election of 1824 there were 4 candidates and none of then won a majority of the electoral vote. So, it was the House of Representatives' responsibility to decide who the next president would be based on the 12th Amendment of the Constitution. The House of Representatives chose John Quincy Adams as the president of the United States. This decision was highly questioned by Andrew Jackson and his followers and they accused Adams of corruption. The term “corrupt bargain” is associated with this presidential election discrepancy.
