The 12th Amendment states that in the event of a tie vote in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives would be entitled to select the new president of the United States. In this case, each of the 50 states in the House gets exactly one vote. The District of Columbia cannot vote. The first candidate to win the votes of any 26 states is the new president.

The Constitution most likely gives this job to the House of Representatives because the representatives are democratically elected and represent the will and interests of the people.

The settlement which was signed by Monroe safeguarded good feelings and it paved way for Monroe to stand for the second term as the president.  

But this compromise proved to be a fallacy as there was the descent of cold war which stared.
