They included Thomas Jefferson ( nominated 1796 ; elected 1800 -- 01 , 1804 ) , James Madison ( 1808 , 1812 ) , and James Monroe ( 1816 , 1820 ) . By 1824 , the caucus system had practically collapsed . After 1800 , the party dominated Congress and most state governments outside New England . By 1824 , the party was split four ways and lacked a center , as the First Party System collapsed . The emergence of the Second Party System in the 1830s realigned the old factions . One remnant followed Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren into the new Democratic Party by 1828 . Another remnant led by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay formed the National Republicans in 1828 ; it developed into the Whig Party by 1835 . </P>
