Correct answer:  Because no one met the constitutional requirement for winning, the election was decided in the House of Representatives.

Historical context:

In the presidential election of 1824, Andrew Jackson won the most popular votes (43%) and won the most electoral votes also.  But since no one had attained a majority of electoral votes, the decision was given to the US House of Representatives, which named John Quincy Adams as president.  Jackson accused Adams and Speaker of the House Henry Clay of what he called "a corrupt bargain."

Four years later, when Jackson ran for president again in 1828, he pulled no punches.  The 1828 presidential campaign (which was won by Jackson) was  nasty, dirty affair in which all sorts of personal "mudslinging" attacks were publicized between the candidates.  That set a precedent for the sort of negative politics we've been seeing ever since.

) new forms of mass culture emerged in the united states in the 1920s and in the 1950s. briefly explain one important similarity
MissTica
The 1920s and 1950s are similar in the sense that a new culture emerged. One similarity between these time periods is that they represent the United States emerging from a World War. World War I (1914-1919) and World War II (1939-1945) were two enormous global events that affected American society and alter what culture develops afterwards.

One common culture that developed during the 20's and 50's was consumerism. Consumerism is an social and economic idea that focuses on developing products that will interest the consumer (aka buyer). During both eras, companies began to advertise items in a manner that convinced American citizens to buy them. This rise of consumerism resulted in the increased purchase of items that people wanted, but didn't necessarily need.

Even though most Americans would fall into this category, there were some critics to this consumer culture. During the 1950's the Beatnik generation developed as an anti-conformist culture. Some of them saw capitalism and the increased consumerism in American society as negative.
