Answer 1

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

The election of 1796 marked the first contested presidential election in the United States and highlighted the growing divide between the Federalists, represented by John Adams, and the Democratic-Republicans, represented by Thomas Jefferson. Their differing political ideologies led to increased tensions and conflicts in the government, setting the stage for the intense partisan rivalries that would characterize American politics in the years to come.
