Answer:
Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican Party defeated incumbent President John Adams of the Federalist Party. The election was a political realignment that ushered in a generation of Democratic-Republican leadership.
Explanation:
Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States, from 1801 until 1809. He was also Vice-President of the United States from 1797 to 1801 and the main author of the Declaration of Independence.
Jefferson belonged to the Democratic-Republican Party, opposed to the Federalist Party (which supported the British policies in Europe, more conservative). Therefore, Jefferson had a republican ideological alignment that was concordant with that of the French Revolution, which was rightly opposed to the conservatism defended by the federalists.
Therefore, the events that took place in France during the late 1790s greatly influenced the political stance of Jefferson and his supporters facing the presidential elections of the year 1800.
