Answer:
An act of war
Explanation:
The U.S. was not interested in war, however with the greatly increasing amount of America ships sunk in unrestricted submarine warfare, The U.S. was pushing towards war. The British intercepted the Zimmerman note that the Germans hoped the Mexicans received. This note was very threatening to the U.S. since it called for Mexico to invade America, including Texas and its borders. The U.S. most definitely didn't want a war on their own soil, against a neighbor.
The biggest criticism of the electoral college is that the system is inherently oligarchic. The system is set up so that the Electorates (those who vote for the president) can be essentially anyone. This is what makes up a Representative Republic and not a Direct Democracy. In our republic, we choose who gets to vote for our president, in other words, you chose a <u>representative</u>. In a direct democracy, you chose for your president <u>directly</u>
