How did the members of opposing parties become president and Vice President in the election of 1796?
Before the ratification of the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1804, there were no vice presidential elections. Each elector voted for two people for president, then whoever got the second-highest number of votes was the vice president. Although John Adams' running mate in the 1796 election was Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina, Thomas Jefferson received more votes than Pinckney, making Jefferson the Vice President.
