Jefferson and Adams were political rivals and differed sharply on several issues. ( In those days, the person who finished second in electoral votes was made the vice-president. This was changed in 1804 by the 12th amendment to the Constitution. )

Jefferson was the opposition candidate against Adams in 1796. His views on government differed from those of Adams in several important ways. However, in accordance to Constitution, he was made vice-president, having come in second in the presidential voting . The 12th amendment, passed in 1804 changed this method of election so that now the president and vice-president are from the same party.
