Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Twelfth Amendment was ratified in 1804 and it dealt with the issue of a president and vice-president being from different political parties. Prior to this amendment, the candidate who received the second highest number of electoral votes would become the vice-president, regardless of their political affiliation with the president. The Twelfth Amendment established that electors would now cast separate votes for president and vice-president, preventing the possibility of a president and vice-president from two different parties.
