Answer 1

Yes, you are correct. In the election of 1800, it was ultimately John Adams who settled the tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. After the Electoral College vote resulted in a tie between Jefferson and Burr, the decision was sent to the House of Representatives to break the deadlock. Adams, being the incumbent president and a member of the Federalist Party, chose to give his support to Jefferson, who belonged to the Democratic-Republican Party. This endorsement by Adams led to the House choosing Jefferson as the third President of the United States.
