There were four candidates for president in 1824: John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, William H. Crawford, and Andrew Jackson. Since none of the four candidates received a majority of electoral votes, the election was decided by the U.S. House of Representatives. The House selected John Quincy Adams as president, even though he had finished second to Andrew Jackson in the electoral vote count.
