None of the candidates declared a party
The 1824 presidential election is often viewed as controversial due to the "Corrupt Bargain" accusation that arose when John Quincy Adams was elected despite losing the popular and electoral vote to Andrew Jackson. Many argue that Jackson, who secured a plurality of both votes, should have won the presidency. However, the election was ultimately decided by the House of Representatives, which chose Adams, leading to debates about the fairness of the process. Ultimately, opinions on who should have won vary based on perspectives regarding electoral fairness and the role of political maneuvering.
The "corrupt bargain" refers to the controversial political deal between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay during the 1824 U.S. presidential election. After no candidate secured a majority in the Electoral College, the election was decided by the House of Representatives, where Clay, who was eliminated from contention, supported Adams. In exchange for Clay's backing, Adams appointed him as Secretary of State, leading to accusations of political corruption and favoritism.
