Answer: Option A,B & D

Step-by-step explanation:

The elections of 1800 were very significant in the history of United states because for the first time there was a shift in power from one party to another as a result of weakening of the federalist party. But there was a tie which made way for the twelfth amendment talking about casting different votes for the post of president and vice president instead of casting two votes for president.
