The number of votes cast for president rose from about 350,000 in 1824 to over 2.4 million in 1840. Universal Male Suffrage, Party Nominating Conventions, Popular Election of the President, Two-Party System, Rise of Third Parties, More Elected Offices, Popular Campaigning, Spoils System, and Rotation of Officeholders all lead to changes in U.S. politics between 1824 and 1840.
