Vocal Point-Dr. Matthew Spalding

Topic: The Constitution and Its Critics.

Late last month, the Gallup organization released a new article showing that a majority of Americans do not understand or appreciate the electoral college principle which is found in the Constitution. Gallup writes: “Americans Still Favor Replacing Electoral College System.

58% favor amending Constitution to have popular vote determine the president.” Meanwhile, many conservative scholars of the Constitution note that we should all be grateful for what the founders gave us because it is precisely why we have such a stable government, through all the upheaval and unrest.
