The Resolution of 1800, also known as the Election of 1800, was a significant electoral event where Thomas Jefferson defeated incumbent John Adams, leading to the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties in U.S. history. This election resolved a tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, which was ultimately decided by the House of Representatives, highlighting the emerging issues within the electoral system and prompting the passage of the 12th Amendment to refine the presidential election process.
