clear my selection

Explanation:

The 1800 U.S. presidential election saw the transfer of power from the Federalist Party to the Democratic - Republican Party. This peaceful transfer between different political parties was a significant milestone in American political history and is why it is called the "revolution of 1800". There were previous elections with multiple candidates, elections during non - war times, and the right of common people to vote had not yet been fully expanded in 1800 in the way the last option implies.

Answer:

It was the first time that power was transferred to a different political party.
