I NEED THE ANSWER ASAP Which of the following was a consequence of the “Corrupt Bargain”?
John C. Calhoun became President by winning the popular vote.
J. T. Harlan was appointed Secretary of State under Calhoun.
Andrew Jackson was selected as John Quincy Adam’s Secretary of State.
John Quincy Adams was chosen President by the House of Representatives.

John Quincy Adams was chosen President by the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

In the 1824 presidential contest, Jackson did not publicly advocate for his own election, in keeping with the tradition of the day. However, Jackson did make it clear he was determined to cleanse government of corruption and return it to its earlier values.

Though Jackson won the popular vote, he did not win enough Electoral College votes to be elected. The decision fell to the House of  Representatives, who met on February 9, 1825. They elected John Quincy Adams, with House Speaker Henry Clay as Adams’ chief supporter.
