Answer 1

The conflict surrounding the election of 1824 was finally settled by a majority vote in the House of Representatives. Since no candidate received a majority of the electoral votes, the election was decided by the House, where each state delegation cast one vote for one of the top three candidates. John Quincy Adams was ultimately chosen as the president.
