The electoral college at the time was small compared to today's. The number of electoral votes needed for any running candidate to win was 131 votes. Andrew Jackson won both the Popular vote and the Electoral Vote. But, due to the amount of candidates Jackson only gained 99 electoral votes. Therefore the decisions was taken on by the U.S. House of Representatives. Due to the twelfth amendment onlay the top three candidates were taken to the House's election therefore eliminating Henry Clay. This left William Crawford, John Q. Adams, and Andrew Jackson. This is where the term the "Corrupt Bargain of 1824" sets in. Henry Clay happened to be the Speaker of the House at the time. Clay detested Jackson and Adams made a deal with Clay to convince more Reps. to vote for Adams. Adams offered Clay the job of Secretary of State so that way if Adams were to die in office, Clay would get his dream of being president. This made Jackson mad after he lost the house vote due to Clay swaying the House to vote for Adam's.
