Question 1
In the 1824 U.S. presidential election, no candidate received a majority of electoral votes. As per the 12th Amendment, the House of Representatives was tasked with choosing the president from the top three candidates (Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, and William Crawford). The House ultimately elected John Quincy Adams.
The candidates in the 1824 election (Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, William H. Crawford, and Henry Clay) were all from the Democratic - Republican Party. This was a time when the Federalist Party had largely faded, and the Democratic - Republican Party was the dominant political group, though internal divisions were starting to emerge.
