Why was the election of 1824 controversal?
According to the prevailing rules of electoral college voting at that time, electors cast votes for two persons. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices until the passage of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1804. In 1796, the recipient of the most electoral votes would become president and the runner-up vice-president. In the 1796 presidential election there was a total of 136 electoral votes thereby requiring a majority of 69 votes to win the presidential election. John Adams was elected president with 71 electoral votes. Thomas Jefferson received 68 electoral votes. Others receiving votes included Thomas Pinckney - John Adams' vice-presidential running mate (59), Aaron Burr (30), Samuel Adams (15), O. Ellsworth (11), George Clinton (7), John Jay (5), James Iredell (3), S. Johnston (2), George Washington (2), John Henry (2), and Charles C. Pinckney (1). The United States presidential election of 1796 was the first contested American presidential election and the only one to elect a President and Vice President from opposing tickets. Although John Adams won, Thomas Jefferson received more electoral votes than John Adams' vice-presidential running mate Thomas Pinckney and Jefferson was elected Vice-President.
What are differences between presidential and Congressional election?
Congressional elections are every two years. Every other congressional election is also a presidential election. Two of every three elections you also elect a senator from your state. (Senators serve for 6 years and their elections are staggered so you usually don't vote for both senators in one election). Those elections that are -just- congressional tend not to get as big a voter turnout. Most people don't even know who their congressional representatives are. More people care about presidential elections. Congressmen and Senators are elected by direct vote--whoever gets the most votes win. Presidents are elected by the electoral college, so whoever gets the most votes in your state gets -all- your state's electoral votes.
