Alexander Hamilton described the selection process of the president of the United States as a balanced method that considered the popular votes and the intellectual giants' contribution.

While the opposition of the selection process described the method as "guarded," Hamilton thought otherwise. He claimed that the use of the electoral college enabled intellectual input that balanced popular votes.For Hamilton, the popular votes can be swayed by calculated political rhetoric and baseless campaign promises, which may not be in the best interest of the nation and her people.Though the electoral college was conceived as a way of checking the electoral advantage conferred by the popular votes, its operation today looks suspect. Originally, presidential electors were expected to meet and deliberate before voting in a president. It is not the case now.

Thus, to achieve a balanced and more rational choice of the president, popular votes should be validated with intellectually-qualified input presented through the electoral college.
