done

Explanation:

1. For "John Adams became the second president of the United States": In the 1796 election, John Adams (Federalist) won and became the second US president, so this is true.
2. For "The election was won by a Democratic - Republican candidate": John Adams was a Federalist, so this is false.
3. For "The election was the first to feature political parties": The 1796 election was the first US presidential election with political parties (Federalists and Democratic - Republicans) competing, so this is true.
4. For "The election led to a transfer of power from one party to another": George Washington (non - partisan) was the first president, and John Adams (Federalist) won, so there was no transfer from one party to another (as Washington wasn't affiliated with a party), so this is false.

Answer:

• John Adams became the second president of the United States.
• The election was the first to feature political parties.
