Who accused that the John Quincy Adams made "corrupt bargain"?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Andrew Jackson
The controversy arose when the election of
1824 was thrown into the House of Representatives because neither
Jackson, Adams, nor Crawford had a majority of electoral votes. Jackson
thought he deserved to be president and accused Clay and Adams of making
a deal: Clay would support Adams for president if Adams would appoint
Clay Secretary of State. Webster and Clay favored Adams. Crawford had
had a stroke, and Monroe is never mentioned in this controversy.
