Question 2 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1
The Electoral College vote tied Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, so the House of Representatives had to choose the president.

It was also the first peaceful transfer of power from the Federalist Party to its political opponents, the Democratic-Republicans.
