It depends whether you mean a man or a politician. In politician ways, definitely Jackson, who is and always will be the most powerful President ever. Whenever there was something wrong in the government, he would get it done, or try his best to. He led the Americans to the Battle of New Orleans where thousands of British were killed and only 13 Americans were killed. If you mean personality, definitely Adams. Adams is the smartest President who ever lived. But he might not be forever. However, it is hard to tell because he did not really do much and he only served as President four years before having a stroke in front of the House of Reps. So there you go.

Why did Henry Clay put John Quincy Adams for president if Andrew Jackson should have been president?
Obviously Clay did not think that Jackson should be president. He did not think that Jackson had the kind of experience that a president needed and thought the Adams did. He also wanted to be president himself someday soon and knew that Adams would appoint him to the office of secretary of state, which at that time was the stepping stone to the presidency.

When Jackson lost his first bid for president what did he cry out that became a slogan?
I am not sure that he originated the cry, but his supporters decribed Adams election as a a corrupt bargain when he appointed House leader Henry Clay as his Secretary of State. In those days, the position of Secretary of State was considered to be a stepping stone to the presidency and was a prime post. Clay essentially made Adams president by getting his supporters in the House to vote for Adams, even though as a Kentuckian, Jackson would be the logical choice for him to support.
Who won the election on corrupt bargain?
The election of 1824 is often referred to as the "corrupt bargain" election because John Quincy Adams won the presidency in a disputed manner. Although Andrew Jackson won the popular vote and garnered the most electoral votes, he did not have a majority. The election was ultimately decided by the House of Representatives, and Adams was chosen as president through a political deal with Henry Clay, who later became Adams' Secretary of State.
