Question

Medals awarded> Why was an electoral college needed instead of allowing Congress to directly elect the President?

anonymous · Answer

Congress members would benefit from choosing a president that aligned with their views, as a president has to sign bills that go through congress. Electoral college members, while pledged to a candidate, are pledged on a winner-take-all system based on the popular vote, rather than their own personal opinion (however, they can vote by their own opinion but this rarely occurs). Hope this helps!
