Who helped resolve the disputed election in 1824?

The disputed election of 1824 was resolved with the intervention of Henry Clay, who was then Speaker of the House of Representatives. After none of the candidates secured a majority in the Electoral College, the election was decided by the House, where Clay threw his support behind John Quincy Adams. This alliance ultimately led to Adams winning the presidency, which was later criticized as a "corrupt bargain" since Clay was appointed Secretary of State in Adams' administration.
