Answer 1

The United States presidential election of 1796 was the first election to be contested. It was also the only election in which the president and vice president were chosen from opposing tickets. Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican party lost the election to Federalist John Adams.

Answer 2

There was no uniform election day prior to 1845. Congress only stipulated that the states had to choose their electors 34 days prior to the first Wednesday in December, which was the day set for the meeting of the electors in their respective states.

Answer 3

" In the election of 1800 John Adams ran for a second term. He campaigned on his achievements as president. Many people in his own federalist party, however objected to his agreement w/ France. They were not eager to see him re-elected. The Republicans backed Jefferson for president & Aaron Burr for Vice-president. Jefferson portrayed himself as the defender of freedom and states' rights. he wanted to shrink the government by getting rid of the army and reducing the navy. he also opposed alliances w/ any nation. The campaign was run as much on insults as on issues. Republicans attacked Adams as a tyrant who wanted to turn the presidency into a monarchy so that he could be king, followed by his children as well. Federalists labeled Jefferson an atheist who, if elected, "would destroy religion." i hope this helped i found it from a book
