Topic #4: Resolved, that the Electoral College be abolished.

Overview:

One of the oldest and most controversial mechanisms of the American system for electing its leaders, the Electoral College has existed since the birth of the Constitution. While the topic has become extensively more popular since the 2016 election, it has caused issue over Presidents as far back as President John Adams. Questions to consider: Why was the Electoral College first made? Is the Electoral College relevant today? Is it conducive to the democratic process as we understand it today? Is it in standing with the concepts of Republican democracy? How does it affect how candidates campaign?
