Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Explain why the electoral system is considered limited, which should include a discussion about the electoral and popular voting systems.
2, Discuss the reasoning behind having an electoral college, including a discussion about the limited trust in the general population to vote directly.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that during the primaries, Senator Eugene McCarthy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy both campaigned while Vice President Hubert Humphrey did not.

4, Discuss the significance of not campaigning during the primaries and receiving the presidential nomination for the general election.
