This amendment was ratified in 1804.  This amendment fixed a problem discovered in the Electoral College in the election of 1800, when the presidential candidate Thomas Jefferson received the same number of votes as the vice presidential candidate Aaron Burr, forcing the House of Representatives to select the President.  There would not be another amendment to the Constitution until after the Civil War.
