Answer 2

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Allow the voters to cast separate votes for president and vice president, is the right answer.

The Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution presents the method for choosing the President and Vice President for the state. It superseded the system presented in the Second Article, Clause 3, through which the Electoral College independently operated. The Congress of the United States recommended this amendment on 9th December 1803 and got approved on 15th June 1804 by the three-fourths of legislatures of the states.
