A long-term effect of the election of 1800 was

Answer
A
new duties for the vice president.
B
stricter laws about campaigning.
C
the decline of the Federalist Party.
D
an increase in John Adams’s power.

Explanation

The election of 1800 brought Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans to power after years of Federalist rule. The Federalists lost influence and never again became a major national party, so a long-term effect was the decline of the Federalist Party. The election did not increase John Adams’s power; he left office after losing.
