Constitution Beta - is the best one till today.

As specified by the Constitution, the President was chosen by the Electoral College. In 1788, the method for selecting electors was decided by each state legislature -- by public vote in some states and by legislative selection in others.

Each state had as many electors as senators and representatives. Each elector was given two votes to cast for President.

Washington received the support of every one of the electors, each of whom cast one of the two ballots for him. John Adams, who received thirty-four votes, was the runner-up and was thus named vice president.

Constitution version 1.0

The Federalist members of Congress caucused and nominated Adams and Thomas Pinckney.

The Democratic-Republicans in Congress likewise met and named Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr of New York as their choices.

Each party named two presidential candidates, for under the original Constitution, each member of the electoral college was to cast two ballots for President.

The winner of the presidential election was the individual who received the largest number of votes, if it constituted a majority of the votes cast.

The person receiving the second largest number of votes, whether or not it was a majority, was to be the vice president.

In the event that no candidate received a majority of votes, or that two candidates tied with a majority of votes, the House of Representatives was to decide the election, with each state, regardless of size, having a single vote.

In the end, Adams won by a three-vote margin.
Jefferson received the second largest number of votes, making him the vice president.

Thus, the nation would have a President from one party and a vice president from the other party.
