1816 United States Federal Elections (American Parliamentary Series)

The 1816 United States Federal Election took place following the retirement of Prime Minister Alexander Hamilton. The Democratic Republicans, lead by James Monroe, won an outstanding majority government, over the Federalist. Although Hamilton, a Federalist was popular, the Federalist party failed to use Hamilton to their advantage, instead distancing themselves from him. Meanwhile, Monroe was praised for having similar beliefs with Hamilton and the Federalist, which made him a strong leader. The Alliance party finished third, with a net gain of five seats.

Following this election, Rufus King, the new leader of the opposition, would resign as leader. However, limited leadership within the Federalist Party caused King to be voted as leader once again.
