Answer:

He made a deal with Henry Clay

Step-by-step explanation:

John Quincy Adams served as the sixth president of the United States from 1825 to 1829.

The Election was held in 1824 and was the only election to require a contingent election because no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote. The election was contested by Adams, Andrew Jackson, William Crawford and Henry Clay, all members of the Democratic-Republican Party. Adams won the contingent election with the support of Clay.

I hope this answer helps you.
