Question

All of the following were characteristics of Henry Clay's election campaign of 1832 except

a. overconfidence of his campaign and the National Republicans
b. a hefty & ample campaign chest of $50,000
c. a substantial advantage over President Andrew Jackson in political support from the West & South
d. he lost both popular vote & the Electoral College

Answer 1

Henry Clay did not have a substantial advantage over Andrew Jackson in political support from the West & South during the presidential election of 1832; instead, he lost both the popular vote and the Electoral College.

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic that was not part of Henry Clay's election campaign of 1832 was c. a substantial advantage over President Andrew Jackson in political support from the West & South. In the presidential election of 1832, Henry Clay, representing the National Republicans, ran against incumbent Andrew Jackson. Despite his efforts to use the issue of the bank to his advantage, Clay did not have a substantial advantage over Jackson in terms of political support from the West and South. This contrasts with the options that were true: Clay's campaign was marked by overconfidence, there was a notable campaign chest of $50,000, and he eventually lost both the popular vote and the Electoral College to Andrew Jackson.
