Soon after the election of 1800, the 12th amendment to the Constitution was ratified. Due to this election, the method of electing the vice-president was greatly changed. In the original constitution, the electors for president each had two votes and the second--place finisher was made vice-president. Therefore the opponent of the winning candidate became his vice-president. This was a problem in 1796 but a new problem arose in 1800 when Jefferson and his running mate tied .
Back in Jefferson's time many scandals and personal lives were kept from the public. And much of the media and overwhelming knowledge of our campaign runners is well know today. Many things like the television, internet, and radio all effect the way we are influenced. And there are also other things as well like the ability for blacks or women to vote.
One of the ways they differed we're the political parties. At first there was the federalists and the democratic republicans ( later to be known as the democrats) then at the election where John Quincy Adams one the federalists had died out but that began a new political party called the Whig party. The first republican was the famous Abe Lincoln
The change was due to the ratification of the 12th amendment which was prompted by the election of 1800 in which Jefferson and his running mate Burr tied in electoral votes due to the way the election was conducted.
Before the amendment, every elector had two votes for President and the second place finisher was elected vice-president. After the amendment, there were two separate electoral college ballots in which each elector has only one vote. The first election is for President and the second for vice-president.
For the first few elections, what happened was the winner became president and the runner-up (2nd place) became vice-president. This resulted in either two different parties in office, or a divided party in the election. The 12th Amendment addressed the problem.
Due to problems with the way in which presidential elections were done according to the original Constitution, including the winner's opponent becoming Vice President instead of his running mate in 1796 and the winner and his running mate ending up with an equal number of votes for president in 1800, the Constitution was amended requiring electors to list separately the candidates for president and the number of presidential votes for each and the candidates for vice president and the number of vice-presidential votes for each. Before 1804, although the concept of running mates already existed, legally they were all running for president. Each elector would vote for two people. The vice presidency would then go to whomever finished in second place.

Thomas Jefferson
The election of 1800 was more important than the election of 1796. In 1796 George Washington was elected president unopposed. The election of 1800 had several people vying for the presidency.
There was no election in 1800 since Washington just became President in 1789 and the general population wasn't allowed to vote.
