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.

Answer:

b) social referencing.

Explanation:

Social referencing happens as children look at certain people's facial gestures to help them find out whether to act in such a situation. It refers to the mechanism in which children use adult affective displays to control their actions against physical objects, people and circumstances. It is one of the main processes by which children learn to understand the world around them. As per the question, when Callie's mother began to laugh at the clown, Callie joined in the laughter and therefore it is an example of social referencing.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Isolation

Explanation:

WAY back in the day, President Washington warned the U.S. in his farewell address not to become entangled with foreign nations since France was meddling in their politics. This established an impromptu policy of isolationism, where the U.S. would not get involved in any foreign conflicts, or entangle themselves in the political disputes of other nations. This carried through to WWI, until the Germans repeatedly sunk civilian vessels and killed innocent Americans. They still remained isolationists post WWI with the League of Nations, not entering into it.

When WWII came around, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a direct attack on America, and they couldn't remain isolated any longer. After the war, they joined the United Nations, and did end up entangling themselves in many nations in order to stop the spread of communism.
