george washington, who had been unanimously elected president twice before, only earned enough votes to become vice - president (but he died before he could take office)
alexander hamilton, who was not running for president, gained enough votes to become vice - president (but he declined it, as he did not want to serve under his rival jefferson)

Explanation:

The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed in 1798 to limit the political influence of immigrants, who were often seen as sympathetic to foreign powers. The Election of 1800 was significant as it marked the first peaceful transfer of power between two political parties (Federalists and Democratic - Republicans) and led to the 12th Amendment due to the tie - vote issue between Jefferson and Burr.
