After the Corrupt Bargain of 1824 when Andrew Jackson was defeated, an upwelling of support arose against back room deals and candidates chosen by caucus. At this point in American history, the nominating of candidates became more democratic as conventions replaced caucuses.
The other candidates in the 1824 U.S. Presidential election were U.S. Senator Andrew Jackson, U.S. Treasury Secretary William H. Crawford, and Speaker of the House Henry Clay.
The House of Representatives chooses the president if no candidates receives a majority of electoral votes. The House votes in a special way- each state gets one vote. The congressmen from each state meet and determine what their state's vote will be.

There were four candidates for president in 1824: John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, William H. Crawford, and Andrew Jackson. Since none of the four candidates received a majority of electoral votes, the election was decided by the U.S. House of Representatives. The House selected John Quincy Adams as president, even though he had finished second to Andrew Jackson in the electoral vote count.
