Note
The fiercely contested, yet inconclusive election of 1824 set the stage for one of the great debates of American political history. After an indecisive electoral college vote, the House of Representatives selected John Quincy Adams as president over the more popular war hero, Andrew Jackson. As a result, John C. Calhoun ended up serving as vice-president under Adams. Neither man was in a comfortable situation as they were political rivals who held philosophically divergent views of American constitutional governance. The emerging personal and philosophical dispute between Vice-President Calhoun and President Adams prompted the "Patrick Henry"/"Onslow" (using the pseudonyms) debate over the nature of power and liberty in a constitutional republic--Introduction.
