Why did many Americans feel that the result of the 1824 election was fraudulent?(1 point)
1 New laws were enacted requiring voting men to own property, so many lost their right to vote; this resulted in a very low turnout of voters.
2 Because no one received a majority of votes, the House of Representatives chose a new president from among three candidates; Henry Clay was not allowed on the ballot.
3 Andrew Jackson won the majority of electoral votes, but he did not win the most popular votes; therefore he did not become president.
4 As Speaker of the House, Henry Clay helped John Quincy Adams become president; later, Adams appointed Clay secretary of state.

All of the above reasons contributed to the belief that the 1824 election was fraudulent.
pick one
If I had to choose one reason, it would be option 4: Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, helped John Quincy Adams become president, and later Adams appointed Clay as Secretary of State. This was seen as a corrupt deal and led many Americans to believe that the election had been fraudulent.
