[quote:Anonymous Coward 72341210:MV80MTA0NDcyXzc0NDU5NjU0Xzk3ODdEQ0FD] Without the Electoral College, then any pioneer moving into new lands would be stepchildren. As they concentrated, that land became territories that petitioned for statehood. Virgina was once FOUR TIMES it's current size due to this. Similarly the Constitutional Republic was not a democracy as then there would be senators based on population. This is so crazy as Jefferson's Democrat-Republicans were VEHEMENT states' rights proponents yet today Democrats are federalists! Today they have given up states' rights and want majority mob rule by as little as 50.5%. That is so antitheical to Jefferson. [/quote]
