Question

Hamilton said that those who opposed the method for selection of the president describe it as “guarded”. But how does Hamilton describe it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hamilton described the process as a perfect one or at the very least, an excellent process.

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton described the method of selection of the president as a perfect or excellent process in the Federalist paper number 68. The opposers of the procedure described the process as "pretty well-guarded" and Hamilton objected to this opinion, citing cogent reasons why the process was perfect.

One of these reasons was the fact that the people were properly represented in the elections. The choice of the electoral college who had accurate knowledge of the people's interests, and who had no political positions could provide proper representation for the populace. The decentralized location for the election by the college would also serve as a deterrence to the violence that would have occurred if they all gathered in a place.
