During the election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson defeated John Adams in the general election. However, Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr, received the same number of electoral votes, which led to a tie. As a result, the election was decided by the House of Representatives. After several contentious ballots, the House chose Jefferson as president over Burr. This election is significant because it marked the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties in the United States, from the Federalists (Adams) to the Democratic-Republicans (Jefferson).
Therefore, the accurate statement is: **Jefferson defeated Adams in the general election, and the House of Representatives chose him to be president over Burr.**
