How was the big problem of the election in 1796 solved?
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. The problem is that each was from a different political party. So there was a call for the 12th amendment to have electors decide who would be president and who would be vice president on the ticket.
How did the process of electing a president change after election of 1800?
For the first few elections, what happened was the winner became president and the runner-up (2nd place) became vice-president. This resulted in either two different parties in office, or a divided party in the election. The 12th Amendment addressed the problem.

What is the main thing of the twelfth amendment?
The 12th amendment is that Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates will appear on 2 separate ballets. For example in the last presidential election Obama ran for President with Biden as Vice President and then on a separate ballet McCain ran with Palin as Vice President, rather with all 4 running for president. Before this the winner of the election was the President and the runner-up became the Vice President, but that became a problem because of partisan differences and thus we have the 12th amendment.

What problem might arise from making the runner up presidential election the vice president?
The obvious problem was the one that provoked a Constitutional change. Two people with strongly opposing views ran for president. One of them won by a narrow margin and the other became Vice-president. The vice-president thus became a constant voice of opposition in the capital. And- suppose the president had died- suddenly the government would change- the new president would want to replace all the high-ranking Cabinet members- all of the president's initiatives would likely be scrapped and the government would be in turmoil. Indeed , there would be an incentive for an opposing party to remove the president if they lost the election.
How does scarcity affect the US President?
I find "scarcity" to be an odd word in this context. If any needed commodity such as gasoline or food becomes scarce, the people will expect the president to do something about it and unless he can relieve the problem or convince the public that the problem is not something he can fix, he and his party will lose votes in the next election
By throwing his support behind John Quincy Adams this unsuccessful candidate prevented the voters' choice from being elected president in the 1824 election?
Your question has a problem. First there was no " voters choice". Congress decided who was to be president. He was elected by the House.
