How were the elections of president and vice president handled prior to passing the 12 amendment?
Before the 12th amendment, the President was elected by the electoral college just as is done today. However, there was only one election in which each elector had two votes. The man who received the most votes, provided he got a majority, was elected President. The second place man, provided he got a majority, was elected vice-president. ( A majority was more than half of the electors. Electors had to cast their two votes for different people , one of whom was not from their state.)
