    Correct Answer
    A. They changed the law so that the vice president and president have different ballots.
    Explanation
    After the tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, it is likely that they changed the law so that the vice president and president have different ballots. This change would have been made to avoid future ties and ensure a clear distinction between the roles of president and vice president. By having separate ballots, it would be easier for voters to choose their preferred candidate for each position, preventing any confusion or ambiguity in the election process.
