where did the electoral college come from? definitely slavery i'm sure it went like this:  > >we can't let your slaves vote. you consider them property anyway > if you don't count the slaves, then we are out > > fine, but they will all vote for whoever you say because you own them and have ultimate power over them > ok, let's do this: all states get a vote based on population alone > >still, your slaves are all gonna vote how you tell them. how can we even trust that vote? we know you won't allow a secret vote, we're not idiots > ok, how about this, they will all count as 3/5ths of a person. coo? > > i mean, it just doesn't seem fair... > look, 30% of our population is slaves. we only have 60% of your population. you either do this or we're out > >fine!
