why didn't the constitutional convention's delegates decide to let the people directly elect the US president

History

Some delegates wanted Congress to choose the President, but that would have upset the balance of power among the three branches of government. Others called for direct popular vote, but that would have left the decision in the hands of ill-informed voters who knew little about politicians outside their home state.


So they created electors. And they hoped the electors would be some of brightest and best informed people who would base their decisions on the candidates' merit. (Each state gets as many electoral votes as it has members in the Senate and House.)


Hope this helped!

How have significant people, groups, and ideas from Tonga influenced Polynesia Today?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Hi myself Shrushtee.

Explanation:

Tonga stretches across approximately 800 kilometres (500 mi) in a north–south line. It is surrounded by Fiji and Wallis and Futuna (France) to the northwest, Samoa to the northeast, Niue to the east (which is the nearest foreign territory), Kermadec (part of New Zealand) to the southwest, and New Caledonia (France) and Vanuatu to the farther west. It is about 1,800 kilometres (1,100 mi) from New Zealand's North Island.

From 1900 to 1970, Tonga had British protected state status, with the United Kingdom looking after its foreign affairs under a Treaty of Friendship. The country never relinquished its sovereignty to any foreign power.[10] In 2010, Tonga took a decisive step away from its traditional absolute monarchy and towards becoming a fully functioning constitutional monarchy, after legislative reforms paved the way for its first partial representative elections.
