Explanation:

First Question (Why was the election of 1800 considered intense and important?):

• Option A: The first election with political parties was 1796, not 1800.
• Option B: The 1800 election had strong disagreements between Federalists (wanting a strong central government) and Democratic - Republicans (wanting more state power) about how the country should be run, leading to intense competition.
• Option C: The Constitution was not rewritten during the 1800 election.
• Option D: Voters did not directly vote for president; the Electoral College did (and still does, with some nuances), and this didn't change in 1800.

• Option A: Adams did not ask Congress to stop the election.
• Option B: Adams did not refuse to leave the White House.
• Option C: Adams did not change the Constitution before leaving office.
• Option D: At the time, peaceful transfer of power to a rival (especially from a different political party) was unusual. Most previous power transfers were within the same party or through non - democratic means in other countries, and Adams peacefully gave power to Jefferson (his rival from the Democratic - Republican party).

Adams had a strong belief in the principles of the Constitution, including the peaceful transfer of power as outlined in it. This trust in the constitutional process led him to step aside peacefully.

Answer:

B. Strong disagreements about how the country should be run
