serious question about popular vote

[Napoleon838]

13. Purpose of the voting system

Well the founding fathers created the voting system as effectively as they could. They purposed the voting system to help protect the minority, which was the rich (founding fathers and wealthy people) so that the people couldn't make a law or elect someone to office that would take the rights of the rich away (Popular vote). The founding fathers also thought that the people where to stupied to be allowed for direct election of a president and bills, becides the fact it would take forever to count all the votes. The fathers therefor set up the Electoral college to allow more educated individuals to make the decisions. Now today there would be less people that are ignorant of government because of technology, but there is still the fact of protecting peoples rights from direct democracy.
