“The electoral college should be replaced by a national popular vote.” Discuss (45) The Electoral College is an institution that was established by the founding Fathers to elect the President of the United States indirectly. The Electoral College is a system that should be abolished and replaced by direct election through a national popular vote. Supporters of the national popular vote make convincing arguments that it is the best system to decide the Presidential election in a society as vast as the United States.

It is very important to create a strong and consistent message that provides the voters with very good reasons to choose your candidate and support your campaign . In the documentary , Clinton’s campaign slogan was “ It’s the economy ,stupid” . This slogan was used throughout his campaign to say that every problem we have is because of the economy.

Nader has made it quite clear to his fellow citizens that he will always do his utmost to ensure that the rights of consumers are upheld and defended.

Personal Political Platform There are many issues in the United States. Many people want several different actions to be taken place because they think that it will resolve the matter, but we all are aiming for one goal, to make our country more efficient and stronger. There are many advantages and disadvantages that come along with every decision that is made within the government. I consider myself as a conservative republican for the most part.

This increased the number of years required for immigrants to qualify for U.S citizens from 5 years to 14 years. The federalists adopted these laws because they wanted to stay in power, and since they were aware of the fact that many of the immigrants would vote for their opposing party, this act ensured that they couldn’t vote. George Washington thought that immigration could help unite the country as a whole if there was an intermixture of cultures. (Doc.

These beliefs have been the ideas and founding principles in the past, but in our modern society, voter suppression has again and again crippled the rights of the people. In the recent century, many laws and political tactics have forced many people away from voting. Why is it important for Americans to vote? The question may have conversional answers.
