The disputed presidential election of 1876 between republican
Rutherford Bitchard Hayes of Ohio and democrat Samuel Jones Tilden of New
York brought the country into a political and constitutional crisis and nearly to a
new civil war. The contested results in three southern states with each party
claiming victory in Florida, Louisiana and South Caroline, the three former
confederate states still dominated by republicans, resulted in two different set of
electors sent to Washington. The Constitution provided no remedy for that
situation, and the Congress was divided into a democratic House and a
republican Senate. To solve that problem and decide the objections presented
to the certificates and the final outcome of the election, both parties finally
agreed to create a fifteen member Electoral Commission composed by five
representatives, five senators and five Supreme Court justices. |
