Prior to the passage of the 12th Amendment, each member of the Electoral College voted for two candidates, with no distinction as to whether the vote was for president or vicepresident. After the votes were counted, the candidate with the most votes would become president, while the one with the second-most votes would be vice president.

However, the election of 1800 saw Jefferson and Burr each winning 73 electoral votes. Moreover, Adams won 65 votes, while Pinckney won 64. After this outcome, it was unclear how the offices should be awarded. This confusion led to the passage of the 12th Amendment. As a result of the amendment, the electoral college now votes for president and vice president separately.

Answer:

"Share Our Wealth".

Explanation:

Governor Huey Pierce Long, Jr. was a major figure who oppose the "New Deal" policy which was brought forward by the then President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The "Share Our Wealth" program was proposed as a means for the lower classes to be at par or even remotely at par with the rich people.

Due to the Great Depression that shook the whole world, the disparity between the rich and the poor was growing rapidly which Long emphasized Roosevelt wasn't doing anything about it. So, to cater to the needs of the lower sections of the people, he propagated this program. This was aimed at recovering the failing economy so as not to be too much of a burden, especially to the poorer sections of society.
