There was not really any legal conflict. What happened is that four candidates split the electoral vote, so nobody got the required majority. The procedure to follow in this case is in the constitution and it was followed. The House of Representative elected the President from the top three candidates, using the prescribed method of voting in which each state gets one vote. The conflict was that the supporters of the loser, Andrew Jackson, who actually got a plurality of votes both popular and electoral, were unhappy with the House vote which they thought was unfair.
