Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Identify that the framers never intended the president's office to be democratic; they wanted the president to be elected by the Electoral College, and thus free of the pressures of public opinion, and they envisioned the office as a symbolic one, somewhat detached from policymaking.
2, Discuss the changes that have democratized the office of the president: Presidents are elected more directly by the people, which makes them more concerned about public approval, and the president is now more involved in legislation, perhaps partly because the American public holds the president responsible for the quality of governance.
3, Propose whether or not these changes have made the president more effective. Answers will vary, but an ideal response should note that although the president has to worry more about public approval than in the past, the fact that he is involved in directing legislation may help provide a more coherent approach to policymaking.
