What was the corrupt bargain in the election of 1824?
It was initially thought to be corrupt, because when no candidate had a majority of the electoral votes, the decision then rested with the House of Representatives where some …back room dealing was felt to have taken place. It was in the House that Clay threw all of his three states to John Quincy Adams, thus giving him the majority of electoral votes. In turn, Adams made Clay his Secretary of State. Many, at the time, thought that this was a corrupt quid pro quo arrangement. It turns out that the people in the states which Clay had won would rather have had Adams than Jackson, anyway. So, from this standpoint, the matter actually begins to appear less corrupt. (MORE)

Why was the election of 1824 disputed?
The electoral college at the time was small compared to today's. The number of electoral votes needed for any running candidate to win was 131 votes. Andrew Jackson won bo…th the Popular vote and the Electoral Vote. But, due to the amount of candidates Jackson only gained 99 electoral votes. Therefore the decisions was taken on by the U.S. House of Representatives. Due to the twelfth amendment onlay the top three candidates were taken to the House's election therefore eliminating Henry Clay. This left William Crawford, John Q. Adams, and Andrew Jackson. This is where the term the "Corrupt Bargain of 1824" sets in. Henry Clay happened to be the Speaker of the House at the time. Clay detested Jackson and Adams made a deal with Clay to convince more Reps. to vote for Adams. Adams offered Clay the job of Secretary of State so that way if Adams were to die in office, Clay would get his dream of being president. This made Jackson mad after he lost the house vote due to Clay swaying the House to vote for Adam's. (MORE)

What was different about the election of 1824?
At the election of 1824, there were four presidential candidates: John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and John C. Calhoun. When the results was tallied, none of the… four received an electoral majority because each carried different areas. Based on the Twelfth Amendment, three of the top candidates would be decided by the House of Representatives (Henry Clay was kicked off because he received the least vote). It was apparent that Jackson was going to win (and he did won the popular vote), but Henry Clay, using his influence as the Speaker of the House, convinced the majority of the House to vote for Adams. As a result, John Quincy Adams became the president, and as a favour to Clay, he appointed Clay as the Secretary of State. For this reason, the election of 1824 was seen as a "corrupt bargain." Also, this election finally ended the "Era of Good Feelings" because for once, there is not just one political party, which was an advantage because having only one political party gave a sense of political unity. In addition, it also ended the congressional caucus. Before 1824, Congressional Caucus was a system used to nominate only one candidate to represent each political party, but with many people voting for presidential candidates, there were several people representing the Republicans instead of only one, thus leading to the demise of the Congressional Caucus.
