GPT-5 mini · Answer

Correct: "power shifted from one political party to another."

Explanation: The election of 1800 resulted in Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) replacing John Adams (Federalist) — the first peaceful transfer of the presidency between parties. Although the Electoral College produced an electoral tie between Jefferson and Aaron Burr, the House of Representatives ultimately chose Jefferson after multiple ballots; that deadlock led to the 12th Amendment, which later changed how electors cast separate votes for president and vice president.
