How did the election of 1796 reveal a flaw in our electoral system?

1 answer:

5 0

Each voter was only allowed to cast one ballot with two names on it, according the Constitution. The Federalist candidate John Adams received the most votes. Adams defeated Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson by three votes, and Jefferson was elected vice president.

Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties participated in a presidential election for the first time in 1796. John Adams, a federalist, narrowly defeated Thomas Jefferson, a Democrat-Republican, by just three electoral votes.

In America, elections with candidates from several political parties were first held in 1796. According to Professor Pasley, the Federalist Party and Democratic-Republican Party used a variety of tactics to damage the reputations of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

They didn't go far enough because although all types of institutionalized racism was forbidden by constitutional means, it didn't stop people from being racists. They still behaved like racists and often it would happen that people of color would get punished much more in court than Caucasian people, or people who were racists and did bad things against the African-American population would walk free, especially in smaller communities.
