It lead to the creation of the Twelfth Amendment, which addresses the issue of choosing the Vice President. The protocol prior to this election was that the Presidential candidate with the most votes would win the office of President, and the second-place candidate would be awarded the office of Vice President. However, this system became flawed in 1800, and it became clear that this could not be a permanent system. The Twelfth Amendment was written in order to solve that problem.
