Why was the election of 1800 a turning point in american history? a. it gave the federalists more power. b. it was the first time that politics power shifted. c. jefferson beat burr by a huge # of electoral votes. d. adams ran against jefferson for the second time.

B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 1800 was important as it was the first time that political power shifted from one party to the rival one under the newly drafted US constitution. Earlier John Adams followed George Washington into office but he wasn't from the rival party. Washington was an independent candidate. While Thomas Jefferson and Quincy Adams were the rivals in true sense. So it can be said that it was the first time that power was transferred from one opposing party to another one without a civil war.
