Question 4 • US History
Jackson believed that Adams had gained the presidency through political insiders rather than the will of ordinary voters. After the House of Representatives chose Adams in 1824, Jackson accused Adams and Henry Clay of making a “corrupt bargain,” reinforcing his view of Adams as an aristocrat who used political connections to gain support. The correct choice is “an aristocrat who used his connections to gain political support.”
