Why did the framers of the Constitution decide against a system that directly elected the president by popular vote?

Framers had their blind spots. I won’t mention slavery for the moment, since that’s where everyone goes and since that blot has been amended out of the Constitution (and since many of the Framers, notably Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton, were anti-slavery).


One of the big blind spots, which seriously interfered with their thinking on many constitutional matters, is that they believed it would be possible to have national politics without political parties. This played a big role in the creation of the Electoral College system. The strange tale of how the electoral system came about puts some of its weird features into context. Once you get this context, it is at least understandable what the Framers thought they were doing.

The __________ fallacy is the mistaken belief that our own experience and values are generally held by others; while the _______
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

egocentric fallacy

Explanation:

Any fallacy is always a reasoning that leads to an erroneous conclusion, for thinking that others will act based on our same set of values or premises- This tendency to rely heavily on our perspective or deem our opinion as superior to others will often turn into a source of bias.

<em>Since people can have different values and culture, we need to accept that our thinking has always some form of bias.</em>

The ethnocentric fallacy is a common habit held when we think in terms of our background, which is not necessarily held by others, as view or  tendency to explain the behaviour our attitude, thinking that the rest of the people will mistakenly held our same cultural values.

We tend to compare to other races and consider our assumptions and expectations as superior to the rest of the cultures.

<em>We must recognize that this is another form of bias and that has negative consequences on the long term- </em>
