The events are organized from earliest to most recent as follows: John Adams winning the presidency, Jefferson opposing Adams's positions as vice president, the electoral tie between Jefferson and Burr, the House deciding the election in Jefferson's favor, Jefferson's presidency commencement, and the passing of the Twelfth Amendment.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. John Adams wins the presidency - In the election of 1796, Adams becomes president with Jefferson as his vice president.
2. Vice President Jefferson opposes most of Adams's positions - Jefferson, from his Monticello residence, largely disagrees with Adams's policies during Adams's presidency.
3. Jefferson and Burr tie with the same number of electoral votes - In the election of 1800, both received an equal number of votes in the Electoral College.
4. The House of Representatives decides the election - The House chose Jefferson as president after a significant number of ballots, influenced by Hamilton's support.
5. Jefferson is made president - Following the House's decision, Jefferson assumes the presidency in what is called the "Revolution of 1800".
6. The Twelfth Amendment is passed - After the complications of the 1800 election, the amendment is ratified to prevent such a situation from recurring by changing the Electoral College procedures.
