The American Constitution gave the people the power to change all of their leaders simply by voting in an election. In nearly every other country, turning out the leaders required a violent revolt at that time. The elections that we take for granted were a fantastic new thing at the time the Constitution was created.

Why did Jefferson call the election of 1800 a peaceful election?
Jefferson referred to his victory in the 1800 US Presidential election the "Second American Revolution". He called it that because the election finally swept President Adams and his Federalist Party out of power. The Federalists had largely controlled the whole Federal government since 1789; Washington was not a Federalist, but he had a tendency to go along with Federalist policies. So in 1801, when Jefferson took control, he was the first Democratic-Republican to have control of the government; he also had a friendly Congress to work with, as his party took control of both the House and the Senate.

The election of 1796 had to be decided in the House of Representatives. John Adams had the most votes and Thomas Jefferson had the second highest votes. So Jefferson became vice president.
