Select the paragraph from the section "Electoral College Votes Determined The President that explains one way that runnin
for president a long time ago was the SAME as running for president today.
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
In those days, the states chose electors. These were the people who were designated to vote in the
election. State governments picked the electors in most states. In other states, certain people chose the
electors. In some states, all electoral votes went to one party. Other states split electors among districts.
Unlike today, each party nominated two people for the presidency. The Federalist Party chose Adams
and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina. In addition to Jefferson, the Republican Party
chose Aaron Burr. Jefferson's second-place finish in the 1796 election had made him vice president.
The 1800 election was different than today's. By law, each of the 138 members of the Electoral College
casts two votes for president. The House of Representatives would vote to choose the president if the
people running tied or did not get most of the votes.
Back then, those running for president left the campaigning to other people in their parties. However,
like today, people running for office did what they could to help their own party. It was common for
people running for office to attack each other by saying mean things publicly.
