Question 2
Read the selection from your textbook. Then respond to the question that follows.

"No clear winner emerged from the election of 1824. Jackson won the popular vote, but no candidate won a majority, or more than half, of the electoral votes. As a result, under the provisions of the Constitution, the House of Representatives had to choose the president from among the top three candidates.....Because he had finished fourth, Clay was out of the running. As Speaker of the House, though, he played an important role in influencing the results and reaching a compromise to settle the conflict. Clay urged members of the House to vote for Adams. Clay's support was enough for Adams to win the vote in the House. After he became president, Adams named Clay his Secretary of State."--American History Textbook pages 305-306
