The Portuguese Burghers[1][2][3] are an ethnic group in Sri Lanka, of mixed Portuguese and Sri Lankan descent.[4] They are Roman Catholic and spoke the Sri Lanka Indo-Portuguese language, a creole based on Portuguese. In modern times, English has become the common language while Sinhalese is taught in school as a second language. Many Portuguese Burghers living on the east coast of Sri Lanka are of Portuguese descent; this is evident in the Sri Lanka-Indo Portuguese language, which has many affiliations to Sinhalese and Portuguese.[5] They are mixed with other Burgher people, including Dutch Burghers. However, Portuguese Burghers are not Dutch Burghers.[6]

Answer:

The electoral college was intended to be a balance between popular voting and representatives in Congress who already had legislative power.

Explanation:

The electoral college was a compromise on different systems for voting for the executive branch because they did not want just Congress to be the source of the votes because that could lead to corruption and Congress already had legislative power. There were others who did not want to let the people elect the president by a popular vote because this would leave many states with smaller populations underrepresented.  At the time it was thought that the common person in the 18th-century lacked the know-how to be fully informed about politics and what the candidates were each promoting, especially in rural areas. Second, the founding fathers feared that direct or popular voters would appeal just to daily needs and thus steer the country astray. There was also concern that a populist president with such a direct tie to the people would be dangerously powerful.
