The election of 1800 marked the first time that a us president was chosen by

a.) the electoral college
b.) a political party
c.) the house of representatives
d.) the supreme court

The correct answer is C) The House of Representatives.

The US political system is arranged so that a candidate must receive a certain amount of electoral college votes in order to become president. During the election of 1800 between Jefferson and Adams, no candidate received the necessary amount. With this in mind, the Constitution gives the power to decide the presidency to the House of Representatives. From there, the House of Representatives went on to pick Thomas Jefferson.
