What is the biggest criticism of the electoral college system?

History

Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago

The biggest criticism of the electoral college is that the system is inherently oligarchic. The system is set up so that the Electorates (those who vote for the president) can be essentially anyone. This is what makes up a Representative Republic and not a Direct Democracy. In our republic, we choose who gets to vote for our president, in other words, you chose a <u>representative</u>. In a direct democracy, you chose for your president <u>directly</u>

The primary criticism comes from proponents of direct democracy. The electoral college is an all or nothing system in the majority of states. For example, if yo are one of the 14+ million republican voters in California your vote means nothing as all the electoral votes - even though 33%~ should be representing their vote, is not. All 55 electoral votes go to the democratic candidate.

One way in which this division of power weakened the country.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Division of power tend to prolonged the legislation making process.

Explanation:

Division of power is initially created to prevent the government from becoming to powerful. We do this by dividing the government into three branches. The legislative branch to create the laws, the executive branch to implement the law, and the judicial branch to oversee the law

Even though this division is important, it has its own downside.

One of them is that it can prolonged the legislation making process. In order to pass a certain type of law, the legislative branch need to pass an examination made by the judicial branch and approval from the president on the legislative branch. Those branches do not always agree on key issues. This make the process to create a law become long and complicated.
