The founders created the Electoral College because they were worried that the president might be chosen based solely on popularity and not on what was best for the country. The Electoral College helps address this concern by giving each state a certain number of electors based on its population, so that smaller states still have a say in the election. This way, the president is chosen by a combination of popular vote and state representation, ensuring that all voices are heard in the election process.
