Why would someone argue that the Electoral College system should remain the same

1 answer:

7 0

The Electoral College should remain the same for various reasons. First, if it were not for the Electoral College, large states, such as California, would largely control the nation. The Electoral College is designed to maximize states' rights. For example, if the U.S. were a direct democracy, Hillary Clinton would have been elected as our president, even though approximately 90% states supported Trump. With the Electoral College, each state has 2-3 Electors for each Political Party. If the majority of the state votes for Hillary, the democratic electors for that specific state get the vote. If the majority of the state votes for Trump, the Republican electors get the vote. The system is designed to maximize sates' rights and avoid impulsive, mass decisions.

What is the purpose of the phrase "We the People of the United States" in the Constitution's preamble?

Dima020 [189]

Answer: The purpose of the phrase "We the People of the United States" means that the PEOPLE rule the government (a democracy) and not royalty (monarchy). They wanted this type of government because our founding fathers didn't want to have one person ruling the government. That is why we have three branches of government to separate political power.
