There was a Federalist president and a Democratic-Republican vice-president and there were ties. Federalist John Adams defeated Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson. Despite the vituperation between their respective camps, neither Adams nor Jefferson actively campaigned for the presidency.<span>[3][4]</span>This became a long-standing tradition in American politics lasting into the second half of the 19th century. Jefferson got the second uppermost number of electoral votes and was chosen as vice president according to the prevailing rules of Electoral College voting. This election marked the formation of the First Party System, and recognized a rivalry between Federalist New England and Democratic-Republican South, with the middle states holding the balance of power

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A. The Constitution

Explanation:

The Constitution makes up the basis or 'premise' of our legal system. Judges, law-makers, law enforcement, and more all have to abide by these set of laws and criteria.

The founding fathers created this document to make an overlying blueprint for the United States. Being once ruled by a tyrant, the Constitution was made to have a 'just' fundamental set of laws that pertained to the free U.S citizen.
