Why was Adams’s election seen by Jackson and his supporters as a “corrupt bargain”?

It looked like Clay had traded a government position for his support of Adams.

It looked like Adams had not won the popular vote.

It looked like Clay was getting votes for himself.

A. It looked like Clay had traded a government position for his support of Adams.

Adams has used his connections with congressmen. In exchange for their votes for his election, they would get government positions

Hope that helps
