The alleged corrupt bargain between Adams and Clay in the 1824 election refers to accusations that Henry Clay, who was eliminated from the election and later appointed as Secretary of State by John Quincy Adams, had made a deal to support Adams in exchange for the position. This led to Adams being elected as president despite not winning the popular vote or an electoral college majority.
The Jacksonians accused John Quincy Adams of striking a "corrupt bargain" with Henry Clay during the 1824 election, where Clay allegedly supported Adams in exchange for the position of Secretary of State. Jackson and his supporters claimed this backroom deal deprived him of the presidency, despite winning the popular vote. This accusation fueled Jackson's political attacks against Adams and contributed to the deepening divide between the Democratic-Republicans and the National Republicans.
The president who was involved in the Corrupt Bargain was John Quincy Adams, who was elected in 1824. The Corrupt Bargain refers to an alleged deal between Adams and Henry Clay to secure Adams' victory in the House of Representatives after no candidate received a majority in the electoral college.

Henry Clay was said to have made a corrupt bargain with John Quincy Adams during the 1824 presidential election, in which Clay supported Adams in exchange for being appointed as Secretary of State.

Andrew Jackson's victory over John Quincy Adams in the 1828 election can be attributed to a few key factors. Jackson presented himself as a champion of the common people, while Adams was seen as out of touch and elitist. Additionally, Jackson's use of grassroots campaigning and his focus on appealing to the rural and western voters helped secure his victory. Finally, Jackson's portrayal of Adams as corrupt and his ability to tap into the growing anti-establishment sentiment of the time also contributed to his dramatic win.
John Quincy Adams had four children: George Washington Adams, John Adams II, Charles Francis Adams Sr., and Louisa Catherine Adams.

John Adams was chosen by the House because no candidate got a majority of the electoral vote. He finished second in both electoral and popular votes to Andrew Jackson. He appointed Henry Clay as his Secretary of State and it looked as if a deal had been struck since the states that Clay had won cast their votes in the House for Adams. Jackson supporters were furious and took steps to make sure that Jackson won the next election. One of their steps was to constantly attack Adams both in newspaper editorial and in pamphlets passed out on the streets.

Well, his father, John Adams, was the 2nd president of the united states. So he wanted to be president also. He wasn't the smartest president that ran the country and he kinda started the depression.
Because those States supporting Adams and those supporting Henry Clay (who had now allied with Adams) formed a majority of Congressional State delegations. Had Clay allied with Andrew Jackson, their combined support would have been one state short of a majority, so that unless an additional state changed its vote, Inauguration Day 1825 would have arrived with no President chosen, and Vice President-elect John C Calhoun would have become President.
