Based on a vote by the house of representatives, which individual won the election of 1800? john adams. aaron burr. thomas jefferson. charles cotesworth pinckney.

Thomas Jefferson

Explanation:

In 1800, in the duel between the federalist and republican democrat parties, the latter won. However, the winning party initially made a mistake. In the United States, it was accepted that a party that nominates its candidates for the presidential election gives a fixed number of votes to the president and vice president to determine which of these politicians is the main party candidate. However, in 1800, presidential candidate Thomas Jefferson and vice president Aaron Burr received equal points from party members. Thus, a dispute arose over which of them should become president.

The House of Representatives was to resolve the issue. In the eyes of the losing federalists, Burr was less "dangerous" than Jefferson and they decided to take his side. However, since the voting process took place by state, and not by the number of congressmen, and the federalists did not have a majority by state, Jefferson won. It took 36 votes for state delegations in the House of Representatives to elect a third US president. In order to avoid the recurrence of such a mistake, the 12th amendment to the US Constitution was adopted in 1803, which prohibited the “double ballot” of the president and vice president - since then, voters had to vote for each of them individually.

Thomas Jefferson is the correct answer.

Hence House of Representatives had to vote 36 times to decide the winner. 36 ballots were held in total  and Jefferson was elected as winner, Jefferson was chosen by eight states and Burr was voted by six of the states.  Maryland and Vermont abstained from voting during the 36th ballot.
