Here they all are taught how to live, and teach democracy. What, you think that there is democratic presidential election, or something .. Look: twice in US history elected a president by a majority of electoral votes, and these electors stood fewer voters. Is that democracy, or what? And when we say, "Do not go, it's none of your business, so we are accustomed to," I feel like saying, "Well then, do not meddle with us. What are you getting that? Understand itself at first»

Alexander Hamilton (the Federalist Papers) wrote:It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations. It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief.
