Answer

Explanation

Before the Twelfth Amendment, electors cast two votes for president, which could create a tie between presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The amendment required separate ballots for president and vice president, changing how the Electoral College voted. It did not change the qualifications for becoming president or outline the vice president’s duties.
