Upon his election, John Adams faced to conspicuous dilemmas. He had more of his share of competition. The first election presented no challenge but this election had many presidential candidates. Also there were two parties to consider, the Federalist and the Republicans.

As it turned out, times had changed, and Andrew Jackson from the frontier state of Tennessee won more electoral votes than Adams, but two others also received a considerable number , so nobody had a majority and according to the Constitution, the House of Representatives made the final choice and after much political manoeuvrings elected Adams.

If John Adams had won the election, it would have continued the Federalist Party's hold on the presidency.
