Instant History
By Chuck Ross
Since 1980 is an election year, it
might be well to learn a little
painless, instant history by
quizzing ourselves on each of the
past forty-eight Presidential
Elections. This is the second of
our series — we hope you enjoyed
the first. Don’t let it bother you if
you don’t max these quizzes. We
wouldn’t be smart if we didn’t
have the book!
The Second Election — 1792
Washington and Adams were
re-elected to second terms in the
election of 1792. Washington was
again elected unanimously, re
ceiving all 132 electoral votes, but
for Adams it was again a close
contest. Try your luck on the
following questions about our
second Presidential election:
(1) Who was Adams’ chief rival
for the Vice-Presidency, and
what was the margin of votes?
(2) Although there were no
formal political parties at this
time, there were two major
opposing factions that functioned
somewhat as parties. What were
they called, what was their major
difference, and who were their
leaders?
(3) Fifteen sates took part in
this election, five more than in
the first. In addition to the
original thirteen, what were the
two new states?
(4) In most of the states,
electors were appointed by their
legislatures. How were they
chosen in North Carolina?
(5) Who, besides Washington,
received North Carolina’s twelve
electoral votes?
Answers
(1) George Clinton, Governor
of New York, 50 votes to Adams’
77.
(2) The Federalists, the
“party” in power, believed in a
strong central government; the
Anti-Federalists wanted to dif
fuse power to the states and to the
people. Washington was the
titular head of the Federalists,
and a strong President, but the
two rivals, Adams and Hamilton
wielded the political clout.
Jefferson was the leader of the
Anti-Federalists. His alliance
with Clinton and Burr, a wedding
of the rural South and the urban
North, was ’ to lead to the
formation of a great political
party — but more of this later.
