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!

Which of the following is not a long-term health effect of the atomic bombings on Japan?
juin [17]

The consequences of atomic bombings of Japan are far-reaching and have mostly long-term effects. The first option offered is a long-term effect, since it takes at least a few years or decades for the occurrence of mental illness in future generations. A sudden increase in and development of leukemia can occur in the short term, especially due to radiation, but overall the consequences are seen as long-term, as their appearance and development does not stop soon after the bombing, on the contrary, continues through generations. Increased ability for future generations to have birth defects is also a long-term consequence, as it relates to future generations, does not end in a few years.

The only short-term consequence is the inability to undergo X rays, because of the amount of radiation that already exists in the human body.
