Wow! I am so amazed at the ignorance and illiteracy of some of our American citizens. Especially those who claim to be college students. They are really showing their unenlightened status by their silly and stupid protests in certain cities tonight.
We have the world’s most successful methodology of choosing President leaders every four years without battles, armed aggression, and uprisings. But some want to have uprisings anyways. How stupid can you get?
The U.S. Constitution is an amazing document. It is an agreement between the States, yes, the States. Not the individuals. The Founding Fathers came up with a wise method for such transitions of power. They had to please the large States as well as the small States in their method. That’s one reason we are not a true democracy. We are a Republic—if you can keep it, as Benjamin Franklin declared.
Now we have some irrational people demonstrating against this very peaceful method of electing a President. Some say “he’s not our President.” What would they have? War?
American History classes in High Schools and in Colleges and Universities should be teaching the reasoning behind this method. But no. Many of the teachers and professors don’t even understand it. May I suggest a reading of “The Federalist Papers” by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, the Father of the Constitution in order to get a better understanding of the Electoral College.
