The Electoral College was created by the constitution is false. It's actually part of the unwritten constituition, or rights that are a given and don't have to be put in the constituition.

The Anti- Federalists claimed the Constitution gave the central government too much power, and without a Bill of Rights the people would be at risk of oppression.
