There was no popular vote in the election of 1789. Instead, the electoral college chose from A group of candidates. Each college member cast two votes with the candidate receiving the most votes becoming president and the runner-up becoming vice-president. George Washington was elected unanimously receiving all sixty-nine electoral votes. John Adams came in second and became the first Vice-President.
Yeah this person did a good job answering the question
A)could you explain how George Washington became president? After the Constitution was ratified, Washington unanimously won the presidential election and took the oath of office in New York on April 30, 1789. At the time he was elected President, there were no established political parties in the United States.B)like how did they come up with the idea of presidency?A problem that the Founding Fathers were trying to solve caused them to think of the idea of a president it was thought, would prevent bribery, corruption,& secret dealing.could be solved by electing a president.C)why did they choose him?The enormously popular Washington essentially ran unopposed. The only real issue to be decided was who would be chosen as vice-president. Under the system then in place, each elector cast votes for two persons; if a person received a vote from a majority of the electors, that person became president, and the runner-up became vice-president.
