In those days, prior to the ratification of the 12the Amendment in 1804, each member of the Electoral College cast two votes, without needing to distinguish between electoral votes for the office of president and those for vice-president. In the 1796 election, Adams had received the most Electoral College votes and Jefferson the second-most, so Adams had become president with Jefferson becoming vice-president. This set up some further rivalry for the 1800 election.
There was also division within Adams' Federalist party, with splits on policy between John Adams and another influential Federalist leader, Alexander Hamilton. Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr ran as the president/vice-president ticket for the Democratic-Republican Party.
There was much bitter campaigning in the 1800 election. In the end, Jefferson and Burr got 73 electoral votes each. Adams won 65 electoral votes, and Charles Pinckney (the Federalists' candidate for vice-president) won 64 electoral votes. Ultimately, Congress decided the outcome of the contested election, giving the presidency to Thomas Jefferson and vice-presidency to Aaron Burr.
Historians also have noted that this election was affected by the three-fifths clause of the United States Constitution, which allotted congressional representation numbers (and electoral college numbers) according to a formula that counted slaves in a state as 3/5 of the number of white inhabitants of the state. Without those added numbers giving extra weight to Southern states in the balance of Congressional proportions, it is thought that Adams would have won the Electoral College vote due to strong support for the Federalist candidates in the New England states.

Answer:
The failure of the policy of appeasement was in that Hitler was unappeasable.
Explanation:
He didn't want some balance of power in Europe where Germany had a higher edge, he wanted an entire German-ruled Europe. Chamberlain (the British prime minister) gave into Hitler's demands of taking over Czechoslovakia to attempt peace at the Munich Conference. This approach came to be known as appeasement or the policy of weakness.
