United States presidential election, 1800
The United States presidential election of 1800 was the fourth quadrennial presidential election . It was held from Friday , October 31 to Wednesday , December 3 , 1800 . In what is sometimes referred to as the `` Revolution of 1800 '' , Vice President Thomas Jefferson defeated President John Adams . The election was a realigning election that ushered in a generation of Democratic - Republican Party rule and the eventual demise of the Federalist Party in the First Party System . It was a long , bitter re-match of the 1796 election between the pro-French and pro-decentralization Democratic - Republicans under Jefferson and Aaron Burr and the incumbent Adams and Charles Pinckney 's pro-British and pro-centralization Federalists . The chief political issues revolved around the fallout from the French Revolution , including opposition to the tax imposed by Congress to pay for the mobilization of the new army and the navy in the Quasi-War against France in 1798 . The Alien and Sedition Acts , by which Federalists were trying to stifle dissent from Democratic - Republican newspaper editors , also proved to be highly controversial .
