actual document of the constitution. The electoral college shows the flaws and biases within the constitution, because the popular vote does not elect our government, but those who are in power to ado so. Society has taught us that the electoral college is there to not be bias, but why not just let the majority of people pick the government and the policies they find necessary for them, then we would have a true democracy.

in that particular country. Thus, these forms of governments can greatly have an adverse effect on one’s devotion to his birthplace which gives way to little or no patriotism.

Thus, this equity in the society together with the love of homeland creates such patriotism that is not apparent in any other forms of government. For example, the reason for the…

The question regarding what actually is the best way of promoting democracy through means of voting has evoked centuries of debates. In the AP Government debate on the Electoral College, the affirmative side calls for a reform in this area and implies the advantage of direct democracy over representative democracy because it better preserves individual political power, and that the Electoral College the US has nowadays can pose a threat to minority rights.

If the majority (say 85% of the people) passes a law that the minorities (15% of the people) no longer have certain rights or are no longer citizens, or cannot protest their situation...then that’s the way it is. In the 1950's and 1960's if the U.S. had been a majoritarian democracy, African American’s would not have received more…
