Answer :

Answer:

The passage outlines the steps that led to the resolution of the election:

* Electors cast two ballots for president, with the candidate receiving the most votes becoming president.

* The vote resulted in a tie.

* The House of Representatives then had to decide the election (as stipulated in Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution).

* The House vote also resulted in a tie, both for president and vice president.

* Alexander Hamilton, a Federalist, broke the deadlock by throwing his support behind Thomas Jefferson, a Democratic-Republican.

* Jefferson was elected president, and Aaron Burr, Jefferson's running mate, became vice president.

* To prevent similar situations in the future, Congress passed the Twelfth Amendment.

* The Twelfth Amendment required electors to cast separate ballots for president and vice president.
