1 answer
The 12th amendment to the United States Constitution requires the separate designation of electoral votes for President and Vice President. It was ratified in 1804 and created a separate electoral college vote for each office, rather than the previous system where the candidate with the most votes became President and the runner-up became Vice President. The amendment was introduced to avoid conflicts and confusion in the electoral process and to ensure a more balanced and deliberate selection of both the President and Vice President.
