The main two candidates were James Monroe (Democratic-Republic) and Rufus King (Federalist).

1) The Federalists went into decline after the Louisiana Purchase (by Jefferson) and the Hartford Convention.
2) Monroe grew popular as the Secretary of State under Madison. He was the 3rd of the Virginia Dynasty.
3) Comparatively, King was unknown. The main two candidates were James Monroe (Democratic-Republic) and Rufus King (Federalist).
