Question

What problem occurred during the presidential election of 1800?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct response is Option A: Candidates from the same party ran against each other.

Explanation:

The presidential elections of 1800 were both significant and controversial because a candidate from the Democratic-Republican party defeated the incumbent Federalist Party. This event is sometimes called the "Revolution of 1800." Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican Party defeated the Federalist President John Adams and signified a political realignment that the Democratic-Republican leadership would dominate in the ensuing decades. Prior to the ratification of the 12th Amendment in 1804, the electoral college voters did not specify on their ballot if they were voting for president or vice present and so Jefferson and his running mate Burr actually tied.  Burr allowed the election to be decided by the House of Representatives and it came down to a tense vote where it came up 36 times in a draw (8 votes for Jefferson, 6 for Burr and 2 abstentions when 9 was needed to win) and only after Hamilton was able to lobby and change the vote of James Bayard of Delaware was Jefferson elected.
