Answer: to create a buffer between population and the selection of a President.

The founding fathers were afraid about the possibility of a tyrant becoming president. They believed that the chances of this happening increased without an electoral college. The electoral college was supposed to create a buffer zone between the voters and the President. Without it, the candidate who wanted to be President would be able to manipulate people into voting for him easily, as people do not tend to make the right choices when it comes to politics.

What action started the Mexican American War in 1846?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The answer is:

D. US troops, following orders from President Polk, claimed an area of disputed land for the United States which caused an attack by Mexico in retaliation​

Explanation:

The major cause of the war was actually  the annexation of Texas by the US in 1845. Among tensions, skirmishes and a failed diplomatic mission, president Polk ordered American troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.
