-King Caucus= The ways the Presidential candidates were picked. They were picked from the legislature!

- Hamilton is from NY
- The Father of Political parties in the electorate was Martin Van Buren from NY State. He wins NY for Andrew Jackson. By organizing people to go out and vote! [ He made a big note of this, saying that this might be a great test question]
