Answer:

The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.

Explanation:

The Electoral College of the United States is made up of electors who elect the President and Vice President of the United States. The Constitution determines how many voters each state has; in practice, the number is the same as the total numebr of congressmen that each state has.  

Voters do not directly elect the President and Vice President of the United States, but vote through the constituencies of their own state. Voters can, in principle, vote for any candidate, but in practice undertake to vote for a particular candidate, and thus voters know how to cast their vote through their constituents for their own candidate. This is an example of an indirect election method.

The smaller popularion states tend to support the electoral college more emphatically than the larger population states, since this voting mechanism implies an equalization in the proportion of votes by the smaller states with respect to the larger states. Otherwise, if it were the case of direct vote by citizens, four or five states could be decisive, leaving other citizens on a secondary level.

The beginning of the Constitution which explains its<br> purposes, starts as, "We the people...."
gayaneshka [121]

The Constitution's first three words are its most potent: we the people . They assert that the people themselves, not a king or a Congress, are the source of the Constitution's authority.

The Constitution as a whole is built on the idea of popular sovereignty, or "power to the people."

Who is meant by "we" in the Constitution's opening sentence?

"We the people of the United States created this constitution."

The first three words, though, make a crucial point. They contend that the people alone possess the authority to establish and sustain government, not a monarch or even legislators.

Americans frequently use "we the people" to demonstrate that their country is a democracy.
