The correct choice is: President John Adams and Vice President Thomas Jefferson belonged to different political parties and did not agree on government policy.

This election marked the first time in U.S. history that power shifted between political parties, contributing to increased political tensions and divisions within the new nation. Adams was a Federalist, while Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, leading to significant ideological disagreements in government policy and governance.
