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.

These are the answers to the question

  • From the passage, the claim of this author is that the electoral college has to be changed because it is outdated, unfair and a disadvantageous way of choosing the president of the nation.
  • The author used these two states Nebraska and Maine in order to buttress his points. These are small states but may favor the president who may be elected even tough he is not the choice of the people.
  • The reason I used this evidence to support my claim is that the states mentioned may not even produce the same number of votes like other states if the president was to be picked by the citizens solely. But despite their sizes, they still have the ability to make same picks as the large states.

<h3>What is the electoral college?</h3>

This is the way that the president of the United States has to be chosen. They are the body that would formally determine the president by the votes that they would cast.
