Why was George Washington being elected unanimously important
mrs_skeptik [129]

On this day in 1789, George Washington becomes the first and only president to be unanimously elected by the Electoral College. He repeated this notable feat on the same day in 1792.

The peculiarities of early American voting procedure meant that although Washington won unanimous election, he still had a runner-up, John Adams, who served as vice president during both of Washington’s terms. Electors in what is now called the Electoral College named two choices for president. They each cast two ballots without noting a distinction between their choice for president and vice president. Washington was chosen by all of the electors and therefore is considered to have been unanimously elected. Of those also named on the electors’ ballots, Adams had the most votes and became vice president.

Although Washington’s overwhelming popularity prevented problems in 1789 and 1792, this procedure caused great difficulty in the elections of 1796 and 1800. In 1796, Federalist supporters of John Adams cast only one of their two votes in an effort to ensure that Adams would win the presidency without giving votes to any of the other candidates. This led to a situation in which the Federalist Adams won the highest number of votes and became president, but Thomas Jefferson, the opposing Democratic-Republican candidate, came in second and therefore became his opponent’s vice president.

In 1800, the system led to a tie between the Democratic-Republican candidates for president and vice president, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. This sent the vote to the House of Representatives, where Federalists voted for Burr instead of Jefferson, whom they despised. As a result, the Congressional vote ended in a tie 35 times before the Federalists decided to hand in blank ballots and concede the White House to Jefferson.

In 1804, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution ended this particular form of electoral chaos by stipulating that separate votes be cast for president and vice president.

Hope this helped!!!

Write an editorial that responds to George Washington's Farewell Address. Explain whether or not you think Washington was correc
nikitadnepr [17]
In my opinion, George Washington's Farewell Address was a fair and clear warning against political parties/alliances. The reason being is because, having all these alliances and political parties would cause a war. If everyone stated their opinions, and someone doesn't like it, then they will fight about it until the conflict is resolved. Republicans formed a number of societies and clubs throughout the nation, which spread criticism of Washington's political decisions. This caused the birth of the Republican Party after Thomas Jefferson resigned from Washington's cabinet. Washington was against the Federalists which caused a little conflict with the Republican Party. Further more, more evidence provides that Washington's address was a fair warning, due to the fact that more conflict grew in his later term of presidency. Battles raged in the press, attacking one's political views. All in all, i would say that Washington's Farewell Address was a fair, and clear warning. It was correct in my opinion. hope this helped, have an amazing day :)<span />
