According to Professor Amar, the Electoral College is originated in protecting slave states vote, meaning that if it weren’t for the Electoral College southern states would’ve lost in every direct election given its high number of slaves (Slaves couldn’t exercise direct vote; however, they were counted according to the three-fifths rule to vote for the Electoral College). Proving against the conception that the Electoral College was conceived to protect people from tyranny and the manipulation of public opinion, to guarantee the election of qualified candidates to be president and the participation of smaller states. In this regard, one of the examples cited by Professor Amar to justify his argument is the 1800 presidential elections when the election was largely decided thanks to the extra 13 votes given by slavery in the South after the 12th amendment which allowed Jefferson to become president of the United States.

Why is the legislative process lengthy and to some people, complicated?
Rudiy27

Answer:

Because it involves various stages and personnel and often does not get a bill passed.

Explanation:

The United States legislature was purposely designed to be slower in taking action. This is because the founding fathers wanted to prevent the infringement of citizens' rights and freedoms.

Thereby, the legislature involves various personnel and stages before bills and laws are passed. Also the legislature is bicameral in nature as it requires the passing of House and Senate through debates and votings.
