kowalskil Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 The ongoing debates (August 2015) among potential Republican presidential candidates reminded me of a note I posted several years ago. Below is a link to an updated (and hopefully better) version of this note: http://pages.csam.montclair.edu/~kowalski/presidentEN.htm How can a retired teacher miss an opportunity for sharing what he thinks he understands better? Feel free to share the above link with all who might be interested, especially students. Comments will be appreciated, as usual.

dream_weaver Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 As a retired teacher who thinks he understands better, why do you provide no reference to the founding fathers' reasoning behind the Electoral College? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Truth Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 So what is the advantage let us say as opposed to a parliamentary system. I understand they had their fears, but were they correct in their judgement. The fundamental problem with a parliamentary system that I can see is the potential for Gerrymandering. I don't know what the solution to that is. Here is an attempt something from PragerU to explain it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 A parliamentary system would beholden a presidential delegate to the parliament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
