The 1788–89 United States presidential election was the first quadrennial presidential election. It was held, from Monday, December 15, 1788 to Saturday, January 10, 1789, under the new Constitution ratified in 1788. George Washington was unanimously elected for the first of his two terms as president, John Adams became the first vice president; this was the only U. S. presidential election that spanned two calendar years. Under the Articles of Confederation, ratified in 1781, the United States had no head of state. Separation of the executive function of government from the legislative was incomplete, as in countries that use a parliamentary system. Federal power limited, was reserved to the Congress of the Confederation, whose "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" was chair of the Committee of the States, which aimed to fulfill a function similar to that of the modern Cabinet; the Constitution created the offices of President and Vice President separating these offices from Congress.

The Constitution established an Electoral College, based on each state's Congressional representation, in which each elector would cast two votes for two different candidates, a procedure modified in 1804 by ratification of the Twelfth Amendment. Different states had varying methods for choosing presidential electors. In 5 states, the state legislature chose electors; the other 6 chose electors through some form involving a popular vote, though in only two states did the choice depend directly on a statewide vote in a way roughly resembling the modern method in all states. The enormously popular Washington was distinguished as the former Commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. After he agreed to come out of retirement, it was known. While no formal political parties existed, an informally organized consistent difference of opinion manifested between Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Thus, the contest for the Vice-Presidency was open. Thomas Jefferson predicted that a popular Northern leader such as Governor John Hancock of Massachusetts or John Adams, a former minister to Great Britain who had represented Massachusetts in Congress, would be elected vice president.

Anti-Federalist leaders such as Patrick Henry, who did not run, George Clinton, who had opposed ratification of the Constitution represented potential choices. All 69 electors cast one vote for Washington. Adams won the vice presidency; the remaining 35 electoral votes were split among 10 different candidates, including John Jay, who finished second with nine electoral votes. Washington was inaugurated in New York City on April 30, 1789, 57 days after the First Congress convened. Though no organized political parties yet existed, political opinion loosely divided between those who had more stridently and enthusiastically endorsed ratification of the Constitution, called Federalists or Cosmopolitans, Anti-Federalists or Localists who had only more reluctantly, skeptically, or conditionally supported, or who had outright opposed, ratification. Both factions supported Washington for President. Limited, primitive political campaigning occurred in states and localities where swaying public opinion might matter.

For example in Maryland, a state with a statewide popular vote, unofficial parties campaigned locally, advertising platforms in German to appeal and drive turnout by a German-speaking rural population. Organizers elsewhere lobbied through public forums and banquets. No nomination process existed; the framers of the Constitution presumed that Washington would be elected unopposed. For example, Alexander Hamilton spoke for national opinion when in a letter to Washington attempting to persuade him to leave retirement on his farm in Mount Vernon to serve as the first President, he wrote that "...the point of light in which you stand at home and abroad will make an infinite difference in the respectability in which the government will begin its operations in the alternative of your being or not being the head of state." Uncertain was the choice for the vice presidency, which contained no definite job description beyond being the President's designated successor while presiding over the Senate. The Constitution stipulated that the position would be awarded to the runner-up in the Presidential election.

Because Washington was from Virginia the largest state, many assumed that electors would choose a vice president from a northern state. However, the stipulation that the President and Vice-President must be from different states dates only to the Twelfth Amendment of 1804. In an August 1788 letter, U. S. Minister to France Thomas Jefferson wrote that he considered John Adams and John Hancock, both from Massachusetts, to be the top contenders. Jefferson suggested John Jay, John Rutledge, Virginian James Madison as other possible candidates. Adams received 34 electoral votes, one short of a majority - because the Constitution did not require an outright majority in the Electoral College prior to ratification of the Twelfth Amendment to elect a runner-up as Vice President, Adams was elected to that post. Voter turnout comprised a low single-digit percentage of the adult population. Though all states allowed some rudimentary form of popular vote, only 6 ratifying states allowed any form of popular vote for Presidential electors.

In most states only white men, in many only those who owned property, could vote. Free black men could vote in four Northern states, women could vote in New Jersey until 1807. In some states, there was a nominal religious test for voting. For example, in Massachusetts and Connecticut, the C

Samuel B. Moore was the sixth Governor of the U. S. state of Alabama from March 3 to November 26, 1831. He was president of the Alabama Senate when Governor Gabriel Moore was elected to the United States Senate, so became governor when Gabriel Moore resigned to take the seat. Samuel Moore was born in Franklin County, Tennessee, in 1789 but moved to Jackson County, Alabama when he was still young, his political career began in 1823 when he was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives and elected to the Alabama Senate in 1828. He served as president of the Senate in 1831. Like his predecessor, Samuel Moore continued to survey the Coosa River through The Board of Internal Improvement, build infrastructure, oppose nullification. Moore supported the Bank of the State of Alabama. In 1831, Moore was entrenched in a heated election battle against John Gayle, who defeated the incumbent. After his defeat, he served as the judge of the Pickens County Court from 1835 to 1841, he was re-elected to his State Senate post in 1834, again served as the Senate's president in 1835.

He returned home to Pickens County and served on its county court from 1835 until 1841. Moore is interred at the city cemetery in Carrollton in Pickens County. Samuel B.
