The American Presidential Election of 1792

The video covers the 1792 presidential election, where George Washington ran unopposed for reelection. It was the first election where all 13 original states and the new states of Kentucky and Vermont appointed electors. The Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, and the Democratic Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, were the two major political parties. Washington was encouraged to run again to unite the country. The Electoral College allowed electors to vote for two candidates, with the top two becoming President and Vice President. Washington won unanimously, with John Adams as Vice President. The popular vote had little impact due to voting restrictions, with Federalists dominating.
