In 1824, John Quincy Adams was elected President. There were four candidates that received a substantial number of electoral votes, so that no one candidate received a majority. Therefore, in accordance with the US Constitution, the House of Representatives chose the president. Jackson got the most electoral votes and also won in popular votes but with some political maneuvering mostly by Henry Clay, Adams prevailed. Adams made Clay his Secretary of State and Jackson people screamed ,"Foul Play!", but it was all legal.

∙ 6y agoAndrew Jackson lost the election of 1824 even though he received the largest number of popular votes and electoral votes.
In the 1824 presidential election an individual needed to receive at least 131 electoral votes out of the 261 total electoral votes. Andrew Jackson received 99 electoral votes, John Quincy Adams received 84 electoral votes, William Crawford received 41 electoral votes, and Henry Clay received 37 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Andrew Jackson 151,271, John Quincy Adams 113,122, Henry Clay 47,531, and William Crawford 40,856. Since no candidate received the required majority of 131 electoral votes, the president was elected by the U.S. House of Representatives in accordance with the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution. John Quincy Adams won the election in the U.S. House of Representatives.
