This bar chart visualizes the popular vote distribution among the four major candidates in the 1824 U.S. presidential election: Andrew Jackson (orange), John Quincy Adams (yellow), William H. Crawford (brown), and Henry Clay (green). Jackson received approximately 152,000 votes, the highest total, yet failed to win a majority of electoral votes, triggering the only contingent election decided by the House of Representatives in U.S. history. The chart highlights the fragmented nature of early 19th-century party politics and the rise of democratic participation.
