In the end Adams received 71 electoral votes, winning the election. Jefferson finished second with 68 votes. under the provisions of the Constitution at that time, the person with the second-highest number of electoral votes became vice president. Jefferson therefore became the new vice president. The administration that took office on March 4, 1797, had a Federalist president and Republican vice president. :D

∙ 9y agoIn 1797 President Adams received enough electoral votes to be named President of the US. Thomas Jefferson came in second. The Constitution stated that the person with the second most votes would become vice president. This caused the administration to have a Federalist president and a Republican vice president. John Adams was of the Federalist Party while Thomas Jefferson was of the Republican Party.

∙ 10y agoThis happened in 1797 because of the way presidential elections were originally run. The electors each voted for two candidates. The winner became President and the runner-up became vice president. John Adams won the election and his opponent, Thomas Jefferson became vice-president. (This process was changed by the 12th amendment in time for the 1804 election.)

Was john marshall a Republican?

The incoming President, Thomas Jefferson, as well as the majority of both houses of Congress, were members of the Democratic-Republican party (different from the modern Republican party).Since Chief Justice Marshall presided over the Court for 34 years, he was involved with the administration of four Democratic-Republicans and one Democratic President:Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)James Madison (1809-1817)James Monroe (1817-1825)John Quincy Adams (1825-1829)Andrew Jackson (1829-1837)The Judicial branch is independent of Executive and Legislative branches (the President and Congress) and not involved in partisan politics. Marshall remained a Federalist throughout his life, despite his exposure to other ideologies.
