HONORS: What flaws in the presidential election system became obvious during the elections of 1796 and 1800?

In the 1796 election, the winning presidential candidate and the candidate with the second-greatest number of votes were from opposing parties. The founders' original idea had been that the candidate with the most votes would be president and the candidate with the second greatest number of votes would be vice president. In the 1800 election, nearly the same situation occurred, the but the Republican electors discovered that their presidential candidate (Jefferson) and their vice-presidential candidate (Burr) tied in the Electoral College. Consequently, the election was thrown into the House of Representative, where the Federalist-controlled Congress got to choose which of their two opponents they wanted for president. Later, the Twelfth Amendment was added to the Constitution to prevent such an occurrence in the future.
