SteveAndrew Jackson won the popular vote with John Quincy Adams coming in second. There were four candidates who received electoral votes so nobody received the majority required to be elected. Therefore, as the Constitution mandates, the House had to elect the president from among the top three candidates who were Andrew Jackson (99), John Q. Adams ( 84) and William Crawford (41). Henry Clay (37) was dropped from consideration but still had influence with the congressman for the states he had carried.
After some serious wheeling and dealing, John Q. Adams was elected . Andrew Jackson's supporters screamed that Adams had stolen the election via a corrupt bargain in which Henry Clay got his supporters to vote for Adams in exchange for an appointment to Secretary of State.
Andrew Jackson and John Adams were the Presidential candidates of the 1828 Presidential election. Andrew Jackson won and became the 7th President of the US.
