Why do you think the founders created the Electoral College as an election method? Give at least one specific reason and how the Electoral College addresses that concern. (A good answer will be clear, concise, and based on information learned in our lessons) (4 points)
One reason the founders created the Electoral College was to balance the power between large and small states. The Electoral College addresses this concern by giving each state a number of electoral votes based on their representation in Congress, with each state receiving a minimum of 3 electoral votes (2 for Senate and 1 for the House of Representatives). This ensures that smaller states have a voice in the election process and prevents larger states from dominating the outcome.
