Question

A direct popular election _____ the electoral college system

Answer 1

The correct option is "b. would end"

Direct suffrage or direct election is a process in which the voters of an election choose directly between candidates for a public office, without any intermediation by another person or body. It is a system opposed to indirect suffrage.

Generally, the direct election model is considered more democratic than indirect suffrage, in which the population does not know exactly who will be its representative, and has gradually replaced the latter.

Direct suffrage, on the other hand, is a better application of the rule of the majority, by preventing the formation of polling stations composed of members representing different numbers of citizens.

Answer 2

B. Would end the electoral college because a direction popular election eliminates the need for a EC.
