NEED HELP PLEASE

The U.S. Constitution stipulates that Electors will vote for the office of President and Vice President, what we commonly refer to as the Electoral College. Two times in the 21st century (Four times in U.S. history.) the candidate with the most popular votes across the United States has not won the most votes in the Electoral College, hence losing the election. Some activists and scholars are arguing that a democratic system of government requires that majority rules; therefore, the candidate for President who receives the most popular votes should win the election. Further, there is a proposal to bypass the Electoral College without having to amend the Constitution (which is basically impossible).

Explore these websites and other sources you may find in your research that focus on the 2020 elections and role of the Electoral College:

The United States Constitution National Conference of State legislatures: The Electoral College National Popular Vote: www.nationalpopularvote.com. NBC News 2020 Election Results: NBC News 2020 Election Results (Other election sites worth using include CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, PBS, The New York Times, etc.)

Compare the way in which we elect Presidents in our current system to the proposal of the National Popular Vote movement. Which method is superior? Explain your answer.
