The Electoral College: Failures of Original Intent and Proposed Constitutional and Statutory Changes for Direct Popular Vote
$17.28
This second edition discusses the formulation of the Electoral College at the 1787 U.S. Constitutional Convention, its ratification by the states in 1787-88, and the history of its operation up to the present time. The book argues that the current Electoral College system results in the opposite of what the Framers intended, namely the encouragement rather than suppression of demagogues. A new chapter discusses what we can learn about the Electoral College from the 2020 election. The book concludes with a chapter on proposed constitutional and statutory changes for the abolition of the Electoral College and the institution of direct popular vote for the president and vice president of the United States.
