In the election of 1800 the tie between Jefferson and Burr and the desicion went to House of Representatives. Jefferson finall won the 36th vote and marked the first time one party replaced another party in the US.

Jefferson referred to his victory in the 1800 US Presidential election the "Second American Revolution". He called it that because the election finally swept President Adams and his Federalist Party out of power. The Federalists had largely controlled the whole Federal government since 1789; Washington was not a Federalist, but he had a tendency to go along with Federalist policies. So in 1801, when Jefferson took control, he was the first Democratic-Republican to have control of the government; he also had a friendly Congress to work with, as his party took control of both the House and the Senate.
