Which statement best describes the result of the election of 1824? No candidate received a majority in the election so the elect

oral college had to revote. There were only two candidates running for President of the United States. Because no one met the constitutional requirement for winning, the election was decided in the House of Representatives. Henry Clay knew he would not win so he threw his support to Andrew Jackson, which made him the next President of the United States.

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.

The Constitution’s creation of a national government with separation of powers
IrinaVladis [17]

A is the correct answer.

The purpose of separation of power is to keep power from being concentrated in one branch of powers.

So, instead, the Constitution divides powers up and makes the branches dependent on each other and responsible to each other with a system of checks and balances.
