You know I dislike slavery; and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it. So far there is no cause of difference. But you say th

at sooner than yield your legal right to the slave— especially at the bidding of those who are not themselves interested, you would see the Union dissolved. I am not aware that any one is bidding you to yield that right; very certainly I am not. I leave that matter entirely to yourself. I also acknowledge your rights and my obligations, under the constitution, in regard to your slaves. I confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down, and caught, and carried back to their stripes, and unrewarded toils; but I bite my lip and keep quiet. In 1841 you and I had together a tedious low-water trip, on a Steam Boat from Louisville to St. Louis. You may remember, as I well do, that from Louisville to the mouth of the Ohio there were, on board, ten or a dozen slaves, shackled together with irons. That sight was a continual torment to me; and I see something like it every time I touch the Ohio, or any other slaveborder. It is hardly fair to you to assume, that I have no interest in a thing which has, and continually exercises, the power of making me miserable.

I REALLY NEED HELP a) Identify the constitutional provision(s) at issue in the described scenario and discuss whether the propos
Oliga [24]

Answer:

A. The proposed measures would be unconstitutional. The goal of the electoral colleges was to avoid a dictatorship. However, in modern America, such concept is completely out of date. To that extent, changing the way the electoral college operates would need a change in the constitution itself.

B. The government might modify the constitution, or a section of the constitution dealing with the electoral college, to better reflect current American requirements. Our founding fathers actually proposed that the constitution be changed on a regular basis in order to accommodate these new-age principles.

C. A possible candidate would appeal to the masses and would be more population leaning than state leaning; states and cities with larger populations would receive more attention than more rural places; and more democratic and liberal leaning politicians would have a huge advantage because large cities and populations are their core demographic.
