sectionalism
The election of 1796 highlighted the rise of political parties in the United States. It was the first election in which the candidates were officially nominated by political parties, with John Adams representing the Federalist Party and Thomas Jefferson representing the Democratic-Republican Party. This marked a shift from the previous non-partisan elections and signaled the growing influence and power of political parties in shaping American politics.
The election of 1800 was more important than the election of 1796. In 1796 George Washington was elected president unopposed. The election of 1800 had several people vying for the presidency.

The candidate for the Democratic-Republican Party in the election of 1796 was Thomas Jefferson. He ran against John Adams of the Federalist Party and ultimately became the vice-president after Adams won the presidency.
1796 was the first contested election with two parties running candidates. It was also the first time that a popular president voluntarily gave up his power and stepped aside.
How is the way vice-presidents are chosen today different from how they were chosen in the time of Adams's election in 1796?
