The election of 1800 was significant because the House of Representatives chose the President.

In the presidential election votes, due to certain confusion, the voters did not differentiate between the president and vice-president vote. This led to a tie and eventually the election was thrown on the House of Representatives as stated in Article II, Section I of the Constitution of the USA. Thomas Jefferson finally became the President by earning the majority of the votes.
