In 1825 the candidate with the greatest number of electoral votes would become president and the candidate with the next - highest number would become vice president.
The final choice is made by the electoral college, just as the choice for president is made. In every state, the vice presidential candidate appears on the ballot along with the presidential candidate; they run as a team. This is a huge change from the original method in the Constitution, wherein the vice president was the presidential candidate with the second most votes.
The Presidential Candidate's main purpose in picking the Vice President is "balancing the ticket." To "balance the ticket" is to find a VP Candidate that deposits values into a Presidential campaign that will bring support from voters that were not previously inclined to vote for that candidate. In most every United States presidential election within the past 30 years, the presidential candidate chose a VP candidate with almost opposite views and beliefs so that they might hoard the votes.
