The election of 1800 is one of the most famous elections in American history. The election was between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, they both were running for president of the United States. Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, and Adams was a Federalist. The two candidates constantly hurled at each other, mainly because they were each with different parties. Each candidate, of course had their own ideas about how they were going to run the nation. The way that the nation elected a person is very similar to how we elect presidential candidates now.The only difference now is, that it is much more developed.
In my opinion the election of 1800 was handled fairly. I feel that it was right to let the electoral college decide the candidate. Even though elections are suppose to be decided by the people of the nation, that is never really the case. The people may have the popular vote but the electoral college decides it all. A government can build a unified nation out of people with diverse interest and concerns by letting the people have a say so in decisions. If the government listens to what the people have to say, then they can find ways to make everyone happy. When people have different concerns and interest, presidential candidates are usually what they pay attention to the most. The candidates often listen to what people want, and go on campaigns to address these issues and tell ways that they plan to resolve them. Basically, when the government makes things equal for the people, there is unity. This is how a government can build a unified nation out of people with diverse interest and concerns.
