 Intro: Hello and welcome back to another edition of the presidential election articles and this time will be talking about the election of 1800 also sometimes referred to as 'The Revolution of 1800' between Federalists John Adams and Democratic Republican Thomas Jefferson in one of the most important elections in early U.S. history...So with that all said, let's get into it. A Rough Four Years Well let's start off by talking about the situation going on between the president, John Adams and his vice president, Thomas Jefferson; if you remember from the article I did on the election of 1796, then you know that the Federalist candidate Adams narrowly won the election to become the second president of the United States while his rival and Democratic Republican candidate Jefferson came in second place in the electoral vote and under the rules of the Constitution whoever comes in second in a general election becomes the vice president.
