This work provides the first in-depth study of the Twelfth
Amendment of the United States Constitution from the larger
perspective of the development of the electoral college. Too often
viewed as a modest reform to prevent the recurrence of the
1800-1801 election crisis, the Twelfth Amendment, according to
Kuroda, was actually the decisive step in the evolution of the
modern electoral college. Significantly, the amendment implicitly
recognized the existence of national political parties and allowed
the party which won the most electoral votes to win the offices of
President and Vice President. But it was also significant for what
it did not do: it did not abolish presidential electors; did not
prohibit a winner-take-all electoral system; and did not mandate
district election of electors.
