1796: The First Real Election In an increasingly democratic United States, the election of 1796 represented the last great hurrah for the Federalist Party. Although it was clear during the election campaign that Jefferson was the presidential candidate and Burr the vice presidential, Burr refused to concede, forcing a vote in the House of Representatives that brought Jefferson into office.

U.S. presidential election, 1796 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The problems arising from this election, and from the election of 1800, were to lead to the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The U.S. presidential election of 1796 was the first to expose potential flaws in the original Electoral College system. The result was that too many Adams electors failed to cast their second vote for Pinckney, and so Adams was elected President while his opponent, Jefferson, was chosen as Vice President. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_1796   (1441 words)

Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United States of America The only elections which resulted in neither the President nor the Vice President changing were 1792 (Washington/Adams), 1820 (Monroe/Tompkins), 1916 (Wilson/Marshall), 1936 (Roosevelt/Garner), 1956 (Eisenhower/Nixon), 1972 (Nixon/Agnew), 1984 (Reagan/Bush), and 1996 (Clinton/Gore). Prior to ratification of the 25th Amendment, a vacancy in the office of Vice President remained until the next presidential election. Therefore, no gaps are shown between the end of one term and the beginning of another, even when the successor is not sworn in immediately. jeffwolfe.com /pres-vp.html   (1441 words)

History (from Democratic Party) --  Encyclopædia Britannica During the 1820s new states entered the union, voting laws were relaxed, and several states passed legislation that provided for the direct election of presidential electors by voters (electors had previously been appointed by state legislatures). After the Federalist John Adams was elected president in 1796, the Republican Party served as the country's first opposition party, and in 1798 the Republicans adopted the derisive Democratic-Republican label as their official name. The party's congressional caucus nominated William H. Crawford of Georgia, but Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams, the leaders of the party's two largest factions, also sought the presidency; Henry Clay, the speaker of the House of Representatives, was nominated by the Kentucky and Tennessee legislatures. www.britannica.com /eb/article-233981?hook=797879   (2512 words)

Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Problems with this system were demonstrated by the election of 1796 and, more spectacularly, the election of 1800. Furthermore, the Twelfth Amendment explictly precluded from being Vice President those ineligible to be President: people under thirty-five years of age, those who have not inhabited the United States for at least fourteen years, and those who are not natural-born citizens. In order to prevent deadlocks from keeping the nation leaderless, the Twelfth Amendment provided that if the House could not choose a President before March 4 (at that time the first day of a Presidential term), the individual elected Vice President would act as President until one could be chosen by the House. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution   (1570 words)

Tennessee, state, United States. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Although slaves were numerous in W Tennessee, and to a lesser extent in Middle Tennessee, and free blacks were subjected to a series of discriminatory regulations, the state was pro-Union; it voted in the presidential election of 1860 for its own John Bell, candidate of the moderate Constitutional Union party. In 1796 Tennessee, with substantially its present boundaries, was admitted to the Union as a slave state, with its capital at Knoxville. An amendment to the state constitution of 1834 freed the slaves, and, with ex-Confederates disfranchised and radical Republicans in control, the state was readmitted to the Union in Mar., 1866. www.bartleby.com /65/te/Tenn.html   (2324 words)

Thomas Jefferson From 1784 to 1789, Jefferson lived outside the United States. Jefferson's triumph was delayed temporarily as a result of a tie in electoral ballots with his running mate, Aaron BURR, which shifted the election to the House of Representatives. Jefferson became the reluctant presidential candidate of the Democratic-Republican party, and he seemed genuinely relieved when the Federalist candidate, John Adams, gained a narrow electoral college victory (71 to 68). sc94.ameslab.gov /TOUR/tjefferson.html   (2318 words)

The Father of British Canada: A Chronicle of Carleton eBook by William Charles Henry Wood The danger, however, had been greatly lessened by Jay’s Treaty of 1794 and was to be still further lessened (1796) by the transfer of the Western Posts to the United States and by the presidential election which gave the Federal party a new lease of power, though no longer under Washington. When this unfortunate quarrel began (1793) Canada was in grave danger of being attacked by both the French and the American republics. To understand the dangers which threatened Canada during the last three years of Carleton’s rule we must go back to February 1793, when revolutionary France declared war on England and there then began that titanic struggle which only ended twenty-two years later on the field of Waterloo. www.bookrags.com /ebooks/10044/85.html   (690 words)

Welcome to The American Presidency Although parties were widely regarded as inimical to free government, and although Washington, Hamilton, and Adams deplored their rise (together with the tendency toward a North versus South and pro-British versus pro-French polarization of political opinion), parties were an established fact by the presidential election of 1796. The Federalist party, in U.S. history, is a name that was originally applied to the advocates of ratification of the Constitution of the United States of 1787. Federalists began to adopt the tactics of the opposition Democratic-Republicans in response to attacks on Jay's Treaty with Britain (1794), which Federalists believed preserved neutrality and Democratic-Republicans charged was anti-French. ap.grolier.com /article?assetid=0104100-0&templatename=/article/article.html   (690 words)
