Is the vice president of the US appointed by the opposition?
No, each party's nominee for US President selects the party's nominee for Vice President, subject to the approval of the party. The election of 1796 was the only US presidential election in which the presidential candidate of the opposing political party won the vice presidency instead of the winning presidential candidate's party's choice for running mate. The 12th Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified in 1804, ensures that people of opposing political parties can no longer become President and Vice President in that way, but the likelihood of candidates of opposing parties being elected President and Vice President at the same time still exists for cases in which no presidential or vice presidential candidate receives enough electoral votes while the US House and Senate are controlled by opposing parties.

Why was the seventh US presidential election different from the first six?
It was the first election held during a general war (the War of 1812). The earlier Quasi-War of 1800 had cost John Adams his Presidency, but James Madison was successfully re-elected in 1812. Unfortunately, the White House was burned 2 years later in August 1814. It was also the first time the two opposing Presidential candidates were from the same party, unlike the elections from 1796 to 1800 where multiple candidates represented Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees. Madison was nominated by the Democratic-Republicans, who passed over DeWitt Clinton -- Clinton ran anyway and was supported by some Federalists.
