Explanation:

The Election of 1800 had issues with the Electoral College's method. Before the Twelfth Amendment, each elector cast two votes for president (no distinction for president and vice - president). In 1800, Jefferson and his running mate Burr got the same number of electoral votes. This showed the flaw in the Electoral College's method of electing president and vice - president that could lead to ties.

Answer:

B. The method used by the Electoral College of electing the president and vice - president often resulted in a tie for president.
