What affect did political parties have on the election of 1796?
Smd ^_^ xGratefuldeadx
In the presidential election of 1796 which political party did Thomas Jefferson represent?
democratic republican
In which election were there a federalist president and a republican vice-president?
It is false. The election of 1796 resulted in a Federalist president and a Republican vice president.
How did the election of 1796 differ from the first president elections?
First of all, our elections now take place only on one day. That particular election took place from a monday December 15th 1788 to Saturday January 10th 1789. It was the only election that ever took place that was partially in a year that wasn't a multiple of 4. In the election George Washington was unanimously elected for the office of President, and John Adams was the vice president. Basically there was not a formal election- individual states chose who they were going to send to elect the President, and when they all met together they unanimously voted for Washington. The total number of electoral votes was 69.
Was Washington the first incumbent to lose presidency?
Not really. He ran unopposed in 1789 and 1792 and chose not to run in 1796, so he never lost an election as an incumbent.
