(a) Jackson lost the election in 1824 because of the "corrupt bargain" made between Clay and Adams to give Adams the presidency via a vote in Congress. (b) Between 1824 and 1828, suffrage was expanded to more people, particularly poorer whites from rural areas. Therefore, Jackson could easily appeal to these new voters.
