The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is one of the amendments that was enacted after the Civil War as part of the Reconstruction Amendments, along with the Thirteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. It was adopted on July 9, 1868.
The twelfth amendment to the US Constitution was intended to prevent having a President and Vice President voted in who were at odds with each other. Formerly, the Vice President was the presidential candidate with the second most votes. The amendment made it so that the Vice President was voted for separately and required a majority of the votes.
Before the 12th amendment the President & Vice President were elected independently. They could be worlds apart politically or even hate each other. After the 12th people voted for the President & Vice President as a pair.
The 12th Amendment which begins:"The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate...."
