Answer 1

The correct responses that indicate ways the election of 1796 increased political tension are:

• The president and vice president were from opposing parties.
• The growth of the media inspired conflict.

These factors contributed significantly to the political divisions and tensions of the time. The election resulted in John Adams, a Federalist, becoming president, and Thomas Jefferson, a Democratic-Republican, becoming vice president, which created a conflict in the executive branch. Additionally, the rise of partisan media intensified political disagreements and conflicts. The other options do not accurately reflect the situation during that election.
