Answer 1

Hi Mya, I can't answer this for you, but I'd be happy to work with you! Let me know! To start with, though, you should consider the following questions: Who benefits from the electoral college system? Why does the electoral college exist in the first place? Why did many delegates to the Constitutional Convention prefer the electoral college to other alternative systems? What were the alternatives they considered? Has anything changed since our founding that should force us to rethink how we elect presidents? Is the modern electoral college system what the framers originally envisioned? What were they trying to accomplish by establishing the electoral college in the first place? Do any election results (modern or otherwise) demonstrate whether the electoral college serves to facilitate or impede democracy? Best, Ben
