Answer 2

b. electoral college

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States presidential election of 1800 was the fourth United States presidential election. It was held from Friday, October 31 to Wednesday, December 3, 1800. In what is sometimes referred to as the "Revolution of 1800", Vice President Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican Party defeated incumbent President John Adams of the Federalist Party. The election was a realigning election that ushered in a generation of the Democratic-Republican rule. Because electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice presidential choices until the passage of the Twelfth Amendment.
