The Election of 1788

Everything Everywhere Daily
About
Since the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788, there have been 60 presidential elections, which have been run every four years. 
Over time, a system was developed for the election of the president, including how parties select a candidate and how votes are selected. Some of this has been done via legislation, some via tradition, and some via constitutional amendments. 
However, before any of this was established, the very first presidential election was held, which was unlike any other. 
Learn more about the Election of 1788 and how the United States figured out how to elect a president on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
