1822 United States Federal Elections (American Parliamentary Series)

The 1822 United States Federal Election occurred following the resignation of incumbent Prime Minister James Monroe. The Democratic-Republican party nominated Party Whip Henry Clay to succeed him as Prime Minister. Clay faced his political rival, Alliance member Andrew Jackson, in a hotly contested the race. Although Monroe lead the Democratic-Republicans to a decisive victory in 1819, and Clay had high approval ratings as Prime Minister, Jackson's campaign of being the common man raised rural voter turnout, allowing him to win a narrow minority government. Before this election, many members of the Federalist party left their party to join the Democratic Republicans, as they recognize their parties growing irrelevance. By the next election, the Federalist Party would disband, and the Democratic Republicans would replaced them as the Classical Liberal party, whilst the Alliance Party would become the party of conservatism.
