Why was john quincy adams not elected for a second term?

John Quincy Adams was an eloquent as a statesman, but ineffectual as a president.

The election of 1828 was an especially bitter and personal affair. As was the tradition, neither candidate personally campaigned, but supporters conducted ruthless attacks on the opposing candidates.
