Questions:
1. In this election in 1800 between Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, John Adams, Charles Pinckney, and John Jay, they have five candidates. Now, we have only two. Why is that? And when did they change that rule?
2. The election is also between two Democrats and three Federalists. Why are the Democrats out numbered?
3. Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied at the electoral vote, but in the house vote Thomas Jefferson won by a landslide. Why is this? Did Jefferson have more connections or friends in the house?
4. Also in this election, a person was to vote twice. One votes for a president and then has a separate for the vice president. Why was this? And why did they change it?
