— W. E. Gladstone

You must note that the US Constitution is heavily based off of the British Constitution, with a few tweaks (for example, allowing slavery, which was later overturned after the American Civil War). Gladstone believed that the British Constitution was well-made and organized, and that, because most of the US Constitution was based off of it, that the US constitution would also be good.

— Elbridge Gerry

Gerry, on the other hand, believed that it would cause a Civil War (which did occur during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. In this context, we must know that while the Southern Colonies wanted slavery, most Northern Colonies did not believe that slavery was needed. This argument, as well as future expansions both territorial and belief, led to the American Civil War. Gerry essentially believed that the U.S. Constitution should not be based off of Britain's constitution, and that he did not support the outcome of the Convention.

Which feature of the constitution was introduced to reduce the possible influence of an "overbearing majority"?

Olenka [21]

Answer: A. The creation of an Electoral College to select the President.

Details:

The Electoral College is the way that Presidents of the United States gain the office of the presidency. Each state has a specified number of delegates, and the popular vote in each state determines how the state's designated electors are to vote. In this way, the President is chosen not solely on the basis of the national popular vote totals, but more so on the basis of state-by state vote totals.

As defined by the US National Archives, "The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress."

Electoral votes are allocated among the states based on the Census. Every state is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of senators and representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its members in the U. S. House of Representatives.
