The first contested election was the third one in which John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were candidates with strikingly different views on the direction the federal government should take. The first time that the details of the election were controversial was the election of 1824 which had four candidates that each received a considerable number of electoral votes so nobody received a majority. Therefore, as ordained by the Constitution the election was thrown into the house. The candidates were Andrew Jackson. John Quincy Adams, William Crawford and Henry Clay. Clay finished fourth and so according to the rules was dropped from consideration. However, he was able to control the votes from the states he had won and got them switched to Adams who then won the election even though he had finished second both in then electoral and popular vote and a major controversy arose.

In 1824 four candidates received electoral votes and no candidate got the majority required to be elected, so the House decided the election. (In 1800 Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr tied in electoral vote because at that time, each elector had two votes. This situation was changed by the 12th amendment.)
The candidates in the 1860 presidential election were Abraham Lincoln who was a republican and John C. Breckinridge who was a Southern Democratic. John Bell and Stephen Douglas were also candidates. Both Lincoln and Douglas wanted to end slavery.
The House of Representatives chooses the president if no candidates receives a majority of electoral votes. The House votes in a special way- each state gets one vote. The congressmen from each state meet and determine what their state's vote will be.
