2. That people should hold their governments accountable

Explanation:

  • In ethics and politics, the Enlightenment strongly opposed any form of legal inequality between people, advocating freedom of thought and press, religious tolerance, and in general what they thought was “reasonable”.
  • According to them, the form of government can be justified only before the court of the people who are governed, that is, they should consent to it, judging reasonably about the actions of the authorities and social order.
  • Thus, instead of lasting and unchanging foundations in tradition and faith, society is based on the variable consent of people.

Why did the founders settle on the electoral college system for selection of the President of the United States? Could they have
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The electoral college system was the best solution they chose to democratically elect a president in a way that was both consistent with republican values and with the protections of rights of smaller states.

Explanation:

The Constitution and the new laws in the United States were revolutionary and pioneering by the end of the 18th century. The Founding Fathers could not look at a previous democratic model to find inspiration, because autocracy was the system of government anywhere else. One of the great dilemmas of democracy is how to avoid the tyranny of majorities over minorities. Could they have thought of a better system then? Maybe it was possible in theory, but it was very hard in practice. Besides, the population of the fomer colonies wasn´t as large as it´s today, and there were only 13 states, not 50. They could hardly have envision some outcomes we´ve seen in recent years when some candidates have won the popular vote, but have failed to win key states and electoral votes. They chose what they saw as the best option.
