On 4 February 1789, the first-ever meeting of the United States Electoral College took place, an event that would lay the groundwork for the nation’s political future.
With no political parties at the time, the Electoral College unanimously elected George Washington as the first President and John Adams as his Vice President, marking a pivotal moment in American history.
Washington, revered for his leadership during the Revolutionary War, was a natural choice for the presidency, while Adams, a prominent figure in the Continental Congress, was selected to serve alongside him.
This election set the precedent for future presidential elections and began the journey of America's democratic experiment.
