In 1824 how did the election help Andrew Jackson?
Andrew Jackson benefited from the 1824 election because he won the most popular votes and electoral votes, but he did not secure the majority required to win the presidency. As a result, the election was decided by the House of Representatives, where Jackson's strong popular support put pressure on the representatives to vote in his favor. Though Jackson ultimately lost the presidency to John Quincy Adams, the election's outcome set the stage for Jackson's successful campaign in 1828.
