The election of 1800 highlighted certain flaws in the US voting system. Some of those flaws were addressed by the Twelfth Amendment. But other flaws, including those related to the Electoral College, have continued to be debated. The following activity will help strengthen your understanding of the Electoral College.

Part A
The framers of the US Constitution had to choose from many possible methods for electing a president. Making this choice was a monumental task for the Constitutional Convention of 1787. This gathering of representatives from the states ended up proposing and voting on 60 different plans. In the end, they chose the Electoral College system. The elections of 1800, 1824, 1876, and 2000, all show some of the flaws in this solution.

Over the years, hundreds of bills have been proposed to change or replace the Electoral College. Read more about the Electoral College. As you read, pay attention to the discussion of the popular vote. Under a popular vote, Americans would vote directly for the president rather than indirectly through the Electoral College. After reading about the Electoral College, answer the following questions.

Why did the framers of the Constitution decide against a system that directly elected the president by popular vote?
