Election of 1824

Election of 1824 The Election itself 4 Candidates Andrew Jackson John Quincy Adams Henry Clay William Crawford Two types of voting- Popular Vote Electoral Vote Results: Jackson won the “Popular Vote” No one won a majority of Election votes The House of Representatives gets involved Henry Clay convinces members of the House to pick John Quincy Adams to be president John Quincy Adams wins Adams names Henry Clay his Secretary of State JACKSON IS FURIOUS!!!!!

“Corrupt Bargain”

Opinions on the Election Jackson’s View Clay’s motives can’t be trusted since Clay benefitted from Adams being named president Jackson should have been named president since he won the popular vote John Quincy Adams’s View Henry Clay couldn’t control who people voted for He would make a good president Father had been president Good education Good background

Impact of the Corrupt Bargain Ever since this election, people question the Electoral College Jackson uses this idea to win the Election of 1828 Calls Adams a thief and a crook He wins

Andrew Jackson as President Known as the “Common Man’s President” VERY different from presidents before him Grew up very poor No education No background in politics Not a founding father
