Electors must choose the candidates with the most popular votes for president
and vice president.

separately.

Electors choose two candidates for president; the one with the most votes
becomes president and the other becomes vice president.

Electors must vote for a candidate for president must be from one party and a
candidate for vice president from the opposite party.​

Answer 1

Electors must choose the candidates with the most popular votes for president and vice president.

Step-by-step explanation:

The twelfth amendment established how the choices of the president and vice president would be made during presidential elections. In addition to limiting the number of candidates per party, this amendment established how voters were to be held in the electoral college and how voting by fur would be carried out, as the democratic process mandates.

This amendment established that both the electoral college and the people would vote for a candidate for president together with the candidate for vice president, with the one with the most votes being elected.
