The Second Presidential Election was another grassroots effort to get George Washington to take up the office of the Presidency. This would be one of two unanimous elections in American history, George Washington winning both of them.
==Candidates==
Some organized political parties were present for this Presidential Election, but all of them had been squabbling over who should be Vice President under Washington.
===Federalists===
The Federalists were the party with an incumbent Vice President, John Adams, but Adams was becoming more unpopular with the Constitutional Democrats who Adams had left the party of earlier.

===Freedom Party===
The Freedom Party had nominated Jonathan Banks Jr. and George Clinton, Clinton was more loyal to the Democratic-Republicans then the Freedom Party, but Banks was running under the guise that Washington didn't want a second term, when Washington accepted the nominations though Banks backed down, leaving a no candidate slot in some of the presidential ballots.
