The Election of 1824: The “Corrupt Bargain” "Corrupt bargain" refers to charges by partisans of Andrew Jackson that John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay conspired to deny Jackson the presidency when the election of 1824 was thrown into the House of Representatives. After an acrimonious campaign involving Jackson of Tennessee, Adams of Massachusetts, Clay of Kentucky, and William H. Crawford of Georgia, Jackson received the largest popular vote (43.1 percent to Adams's 30.5 percent). In the electoral college, Jackson led, with ninety-nine votes to eighty-four for Adams, forty-one for Crawford and thirty-seven for Clay. Because no candidate held an electoral college majority, the House of Representatives had to choose between the three leaders, with each state delegation having one vote. Clay decided the issue by throwing his considerable influence in the House to Adams.
