RJA #10b: Argument

Argument 1: Creates better representation for all people, not just the majority who would elect the President.

Argument 2: Gives more of a voice to people and groups who would not have any say in a election. It helps the minorities and fights against a tyranny of the majority.

Argument 3: Keeps the elections focused on the states. This is important because it give value to the the average people and the candidates work harder for the state votes.

Opposition:

1. A total vote of all the people would give better representation.

2. The electoral college takes away from the voices of the common people.

3. We should not look at the states but the country as a whole.

RJA #10a: Thesis Statement

Research Question: What does the Electoral College System accomplish and should it be in place?

Reasons:

1) Represenation

2) Political Corruption

3) State Power

The Electoral College was set in place by the founders of America because they did want there to be a large majority who controls all political branches, but to give representation to the most people and the states; this electorate system must not be removed from our Constitution.
