The candidates in the presidential election of 1824 were John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford, and Henry Clay. Andrew Jackson received the most popular and electoral votes but did not secure a majority. The election was ultimately decided by the House of Representatives, which chose John Quincy Adams as president, a decision that sparked controversy and accusations of a "corrupt bargain" with Henry Clay.
