Jefferson’s election in 1800: (a) continued the federalist domination of the u. s. government. (b) had to be settled by the house of representatives. (c) was assured when aaron burr agreed to withdraw as a candidate for president. (d) was assured when george washington announced his support of jefferson just three weeks before the election. (e) ended party divisions.

The correct answer is B. Jefferson's election in 1800 had to be settled by the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

In the 1800 presidential election, Thomas Jefferson, ahead of President John Adams, became the third president of the United States. The election brought the Democratic Republican Party to power and ultimately caused the collapse of the Federalist Party.

In addition, the elections showed the flaws of the adopted constitution. The electors each had two votes, but could only vote for the president, and the second candidate automatically became vice-president. Republican Democrats planned to vote in such a way that one of their electors would vote only once and thus Thomas Jefferson would gain one more vote than Aaron Burr, who would become vice president under Jefferson. However, as a result of the confusion, both candidates from the Republican Democrats received an equal number of votes. The fate of the future president was in the hands of the House of Representatives, where the Federalists then had a majority. To strip Jefferson of the presidency, federalists voted for Burr. This led to a weekly stalemate in the debate. Only the intervention of federalist leader Alexander Hamilton, who hated Burr more than Jefferson, resolved the issue in favor of the latter. In order to rule out such uncertainties in the future, the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution was adopted in 1804, which allowed electors to vote with one vote for the president and the other for the vice president.
