In researching and writing this post I educated myself.
The Framers did not come up with what we call the electoral college in an afternoon. The back and forth proposals went on all summer long.
Near the end, they got it right. I was hoping that more posters would actually read a little of what the Framers went through.
First, please review what I posted and point out where anything in my post suggested that that the framers came up with the concept of the electoral college was derived in an afternoon.
I’ll wait.
As a matter of fact, the Founders spent a LOT of time going back and forth over each concept, word and phrase that was eventually included in the final document. That’s one of the aspects that makes the Constitution one of the most brilliantly conceived and executed frameworks for a government known to mankind.
Second, most of the folks on FR are quite familiar with the Constitution and the kind of extensive discourse the Founders had in creating the different elements that eventually went into our Constitution.
In my case, I was actually there!
(at least, I’m old enough to have BEEN there!)
