The Electoral College is spelled up in article two of the constitution in terms of the process of how that works. Article Two of the United States Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government, which support and enforces federal laws. It includes the President, the Vice President, the Cabinet, executive departments, and other boards. The electoral college is an example of indirect democracy which means that we do notchoose our president directly. But why? It is a great example of federalism. Federalism is a political concept describing the practice whereby a group of members are bound together by agreement or covenant with a governing representative head.

Some people argue that all this is because the founders of the constitution. Founders had two goals. Frist, the founders of the constitution were afraid that the system to elect the president or running the country was set up in a way with out no faction. In our days the minority faction, that can brake the county in several ways, that it wont have to compromise in orden to get someone elected. were wary of giving the people the complete power to choose the president. And second, the souther states population were made by slaves, and slaves were not allowed to vote. A straifght popular vote would give the north a much grather influence in the election of the president. But at the time slaves did count when it came to a approached the members of the house of representatives althought each slave only count by 3/5 of a white person.

Estadistics tell us that not candidtes not only ignore the samll states, they also lost attention to the large states. This is because the system of Electoral Collage force them. How we alredy have mentioned, if a candidate gets at least 51% of the votes of one state, the candidate win 100% all the Electoal Votes from the state. The Electoral Collage makes candidates interested in the need of few states with close races to the determate of all americans. In my opinion Electoral Collage is not a good way to chose our
