Question

I REALLY NEED HELP a) Identify the constitutional provision(s) at issue in the described scenario and discuss whether the proposed agreement would be
constitutional
b) In the context of the scenario, discuss what actions, if any, the federal government could undertake in response to such a multistate
agreement
c) In the context of the scenario, describe how a potential candidate might campaign differently than under current Electoral College
rules

Answer 1

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 However, in modern America, such concept is completely out of date.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.
