The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1804, required the Electoral College to vote separately for president and vicepresident.
Until then, the Electoral College indirectly elected the vice president of the United States: while the president obtained the majority of the electoral votes, the candidate who finished second acceded to the vice presidency.
