InstructionsReflect: The Founding Fathers wanted to create a system of voting in the United States that was fair. Differing opinions led to the three-fifths compromise, the Electoral College, and paved the way for the modern voting system. Even before the rise of the two-party system in the US, the way US citizens vote and the way our leaders are elected has been criticized. Proportional representation and mixed proportional representation are alternatives to the system in the US. Some argue these other types of electoral systems produce more democratic results with representation more reflective of the people compared to elections in the US.Write: For this assignment:Identify the type of voting system in the United States and thoroughly explain the how it works;Compare the American electoral system with the other types of voting systems (proportional and mixed-member);Contrast the American electoral system with the other types of systems (proportional and mixed-member); andRender an opinion as to which of the three types of electoral systems is the most democratic.
