What is a federalist structure? In Sample's view, how does the Electoral college preserve it?

The federalist system is where all the governments in the united states like the local, state and federal are combined and the electoral college reinforces federalism as all the votes towards a president are combined as one and not by the people.

He believes that it is a good thing as he believes that the people have a different duty to serve than them being involved in politics and he believes that the college is the source of American political prosperity that is why he likes low voter turnout as it lets the college retain it's control.]]> 2018-11-13 21:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/342867/5w2cm0gfwh1r/wish/304036788 342867 https://padlet.com/342867/5w2cm0gfwh1r/wish/304037167 Compare and contrast Sample's and McConnell's views of the Electoral College.

Sample believes in a  more lenient government but he also likes the electoral college and McConnell likes the college but also wants the government to gain more power as he believes the people have their own major role but not that big of a role within politics.]]> 2018-11-13 21:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/342867/5w2cm0gfwh1r/wish/304037167 342867 https://padlet.com/342867/5w2cm0gfwh1r/wish/304040500 How could this document help you argue for the electoral college?

This document could help by showing that because not that many people go vote the election of a president could be decided by only a few hundred thousand people and may not actually reflect the way that the people feel about that president in terms of popularity.]]> 2018-11-13 21:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/342867/5w2cm0gfwh1r/wish/304040500
