Answer:

indirect democracy

Explanation:

In US presidential elections, the president and vice president are not directly elected by the citizens' vote. In fact, voters choose the electoral college, which is a body of 538 delegates, in all states, proportionally. Thus, the electoral college is a model of indirect democratic representation in which delegates are responsible for choosing the US president.

According to the United States Constitution, delegates are not required to vote according to the will of the citizens. In some states, they are free to support the candidate of their choice, while in others they are required to vote for the candidate they have promised to support. However, by tradition, voters tend to respect the decision of the people and their party.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A court today would not find that to be constitutionally valid.

Explanation:

There is a multitude of laws that override the censorship of press, especially to criticize the president. When there are restrictions in free speech, citizens may feel as though they are being dis-empowered. The first amendment allows for free speech, and even if the sitting president feels that it may be harmful, they have no authority to stop free speech.
