Why did the house of representatives decide the election of 1824
1. Not enough people voted to reach a decision
2. The election was not held that year so the House decided
3. No one received a majority of electoral votes
4. There was a tie like in the election of 1800
3. No one received a majority of electoral votes.
In the election of 1824, none of the candidates, including Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and William H. Crawford, received the necessary majority of electoral votes required to win the presidency. As a result, the decision was handed over to the House of Representatives to choose the president.
