Why were most of the framers opposed to choosing a president by popular vote? By Congress?
They believed that voters in such a large country couldn't learn enough about the candidates to make an informed decision. They believed that if it was chosen by Congress it would be, "too much under the legislative thumb."
Outline the original provisions for the electoral college.
Each state would have as many electors as senators and representatives in Congress. Electors selected in a manner the State legislature directed. Voters would cast vote for two candidates. Votes counted. Person with most votes became President and second most votes became VP. If it is a tie, President chosen by House of Representatives. If its still a tie, the VP chosen by Senate.
