Answer:
The 1828 United States presidential election was the 11th quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Friday, October 31 to Tuesday, December 2, 1828. It featured a rematch of the 1824 election, as President John Quincy Adams of the National Republican Party faced Andrew Jackson of the Democratic Party. Both parties were new organizations, and this was the first presidential election their nominees contested. Jackson's victory over Adams marked the start of Democratic dominance in federal politics.
With the collapse of the Federalist Party, four members of the Democratic-Republican Party, including Jackson and Adams, had sought the presidency in the 1824 election. Jackson had won a plurality (but not majority) of both the electoral vote and popular vote in the 1824 election, but had lost the contingent election that was held in the House of Representatives. In the aftermath of the election, Jackson's supporters accused Adams and Henry Clay of having reached a "corrupt bargain" in which Clay helped Adams win the contingent election in return for the position of Secretary of State. After the 1824 election, Jackson's supporters immediately began plans for a rematch in 1828, and the Democratic-Republican Party fractured into the National Republican Party and the Democratic Party during Adams's presidency.

The Mayas were a Mesoamerican civilization that was established in the Yucatán Peninsula, on what is today southern Mexico, parts of El Salvador, Belize and Honduras and Guatemala. This ancient civilization has been recognized for its incredible advancement in architecture and for how organized and advanced they were as a civilization as a whole. This empire initiated rougly around the year 2000 BC. Among other things, Mayans were great believers in their gods and they built enormous, and now famous, pyramid-temples in honor of these gods. One such god was the serpent god Quetzalcoatl and another example was the pyramid for the god of rain, Chak. Also, the Mayans were known for their social and political organization and structure. Until the 900, the Mayans were being governed by several kings and rulers, each of a region of the vast empire. One of the last ones in record was K´ak´ Tiliw Chan Yopaat, before the decline of the Mayan Empire. It is not certain why the Mayans declined. There are many research studies on the subject. Some scientists believe that it might have been a drought that depleted the region of resources and water, some that it was disease and some overpopulation within the empire. Some also mention corruption and disorder. This happened around the 9th century A.D.
