The election of 1824 had a significant impact on how presidents were selected in the United States, primarily because it highlighted the shortcomings of the electoral college system and led to changes in the nomination process.

The closest option that reflects the outcome of the 1824 election is:

d. the election of the candidate electoral votes, triggered the rise of party nominations.

This election was notable for the fact that no candidate received a majority of the electoral votes, which led to the decision being made in the House of Representatives. The controversy surrounding this election paved the way for the development of more organized party systems and the nomination conventions that would follow in subsequent elections.
