Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Discuss how elimination of the Electoral College would likely result in replacing it with a system where the election would be determined by the winner of the popular vote.
2. Discuss how this would reduce or eliminate the possibility that the person who received the most votes would not win the election.
3. Discuss how this would affect the strategies of the campaigns regarding in which states to spend time and effort in an attempt to gain votes. The result would be more time spent in large states.
4. Discuss how there would be both positive and negative results. For example, the public would now directly elect the president; however, candidates would likely ignore many small states and give additional attention to the large states.
