Who decided the 1824 presidential election, and why?
voters decided with a second vote because the first election resulted in a four-way tie.
congress decided since none of the four candidates had received a majority vote in the election.
andrew jackson and john quincy adams agreed to serve as president and vice president because jackson received the most votes.
john quincy adams and andrew jackson agreed to serve as president and vice president because adams received the most votes.

The correct answer is

Congress decided since none of the four candidates had received a majority of the vote in the election.

The election of 1824 was one in which none of the candidates recieved enough electoral college votes to become president. This resulted in the decision of who will be the next president up to Congress. At this time, John Quincy Adams (who finished second) made a deal with Henry Clay in order to win. Clay would drop out of the race and help Adams become president by convincing members of Congress to vote for Adams. In return, John Quincy Adams would name Henry Clay Secretary of State, a highly saught after position. This resulted in John Quincy Adams becoming president much to the dismay of Andrew Jackson who deemed this shady political deal as the "Corrupt Bargain."
