From the excerpt on the election of Andrew Jackson, the Founding Father believed that the Electoral College was necessary because D: They believed Americans lacked the knowledge to choose the best candidate.
<h3>Why did the Founding Fathers support the Electoral College?</h3>
From the excerpt, we can tell that the Founding Fathers supported and initiated the Electoral College because they felt that average Americans lacked the knowledge required to choose the best candidate for the job.
This was because America was still growing and Americans were spread so far apart that they might have found it difficult to learn enough about the candidates to make the right choice. So the choice was entrusted to electors.
That was in the past however and these days electors vote based on the patterns of the state electorate because Presidential candidates are better able to reach the American people now.
