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!

Why did the stempact congress meet in 1765 to form a newgovernment for the colonies to approve the taxes imposed by parliamen to
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Discuss how respnd to the new taxes

Explanation:

The colonial representatives met shortly after the British Crown had imposed many new taxes on the American Colonies, including the stamp tax. The Crown had also limited the degree of autonomy that the Colonies enjoyed, something that enraged the colonists, because they were used to a form of government that was almost fully independent of the government of Britain.

These meetings (called continental congress) would finally result in the Declaration of Independence and the start of the American Revolutionary War.
