Yes. After John Adams's first term, the next election, between Aaron Burr, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, there was a tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. Because of this, John Adams became very bitter, because he believed he should have won. The tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr was finally broken and Thomas Jefferson won, and Aaron Burr became vice president. Because of this election, Congress passed a new amendment, that the president and the vice president would run seperately.

His philosophy and personality attracted more voters than did Adams in the 1800 election .
