What came about as a result of the election of 1800?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied with 73 electoral votes, John Adams 65 and Charles C. Pinckney 64 votes. After 36 ballots, Jefferson was elected president, Burr his vice president (who would later be the only vice president to be charged with murder).

Answer 2

In the election of 1800, the Federalists chose John Adams to run for president with Charles Pinckeny to be his vice president. The Republicans chose Thomas Jefferson to run for president and Aaron Burr to be his vice president.

However, the ballots for that election did not state which man was running for which office. When the vote came in, Jefferson and Burr beat out Adams and Pinckney. But Jefferson and Burr both received equal numbers of votes. There was no designation that Jefferson was the one who was supposed to be president.

The constitution says that in a tie, the president is selected by the House of Representatives. Each state had one vote, and the winner was the person with at least nine votes.

The states voted, but Jefferson only got eight votes. The election took about a week and more than thirty ballots. Finally, Jefferson received another vote and became the president of the united states until 1808. (he served two terms).

I hope this helps (= I just studied it in my history class!

Answer 4

Thomas Jefferson won the 1800 presidential election defeating John Quincy Adams, Aaron Burr, Charles Pinckney, and John Jay. In 1800 electors voted for two individuals and did not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices until the passage of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1803. The recipient of the most electoral votes in 1800 would become president and the runner-up vice-president. Thomas Jefferson received 73 electoral votes, his running-mate Aaron Burr received 73 electoral votes, John Quincy Adams received 65 electoral votes, Charles Pinckney received 64 electoral votes, and John Jay received 1 electoral vote. Although John Quincy Adams ran as Thomas Jefferson's main opponent in the general election, running-mates Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received the same number of electoral votes. The election was decided in the House of Representatives, with 10 State delegations voting for Jefferson, 4 voting for Burr and 2 making no choice. Thomas Jefferson became President and his running-mate Aaron Burr became Vice President.

Responding to the problems from the 1796 and 1800 elections, in 1803 Congress proposed the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution - prescribing electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president - to replace the system outlined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. By June 1804, the states had ratified the amendment in time for the 1804 election.
