In 1800, the House of Representatives chose Thomas Jefferson as President of the United States. The election was one of the first significant political contests between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans. Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr, tied in the Electoral College, leading to a contingent election in the House of Representatives, which ultimately selected Jefferson after 36 ballots. This election marked a significant transition in American politics, often referred to as the "Revolution of 1800."
