In 1789, the first presidential election, George Washington was unanimously elected president of the United States. With 69 electoral votes, Washington won the support of each participating elector. No other president since has come into office with a universal mandate to lead.

Between December 15, 1788 and January 10, 1789, the presidential electors were chosen in each of the states. On February 4, 1789, the Electoral College convened. Ten states cast electoral votes: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. New York, however, failed to field a slate of electors. North Carolina and Rhode Island were unable to participate because they had not yet ratified the Constitution. After a quorum was finally established, the Congress counted and certified the electoral vote count on April 6.

Define federalism. How did the introduction of federalism affect the rights of the state governments?
Flura [38]
Federalism is a mixed form of government in which power is shared, ideally equally, between a central (federal) government and region (state) governments. 

Federalism generally reduced the rights of the states, since they became actors within a federal system and limited in their powers, rather than operating as their own distinct entities.
