I am new to solidity and am trying to deploy my first contract but am facing an error I don't fully understand the error nor how to fix it
ERROR: creation of Ballot errored: Error occurred: revert.
revert The transaction has been reverted to the initial state. Note: The called function should be payable if you send value and the value you send should be less than your current balance.

I tried searching the error but could not find anything. basically don't know what to do
