Answer 1

The 'corrupt bargain' of the 1824 election led to increased voter participation in the 1828 election, with Andrew Jackson's supporters rallying behind him, resulting in his decisive victory as a champion of the common man.

Step-by-step explanation:

One effect of the events surrounding the Presidential Election of 1824 on the 1828 presidential election was D. Voter participation increased. Andrew Jackson's supporters were outraged by what they perceived as a "corrupt bargain" between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay to make Adams president even though Jackson had more popular and electoral votes, though not a majority. This perceived injustice galvanized Jackson's base, leading to a surge in political engagement and a higher voter turnout in support of Jackson in the 1828 election, who was then seen as a champion of the common man and defender of states' rights. Consequently, Jackson won a decisive victory over Adams in 1828, signaling a shift in political power and the continued rise of democracy in the United States.
