Why was the offices of president and vice president created?

They are called for in the US Constitution but no means of election is specified. Originally they were individual candidates for president, whoever got the most votes became president and whoever got the second most votes became vice president. This was eventually found to result in presidents and vice presidents that could not work together well. So eventually the parties started picking a president/vice president pair and they were elected together.
