The project due to be uploaded on Canvass on 18 June 2024.Assess the adequacy of the American Constitution for the practice of democracy in the nationalpolitical system by engaging one and only one of the following questions. What do you think about theassertion that the structural provision you have chosen (i.e., I, II, or III) is an obstacle to the realizationof majority rule, even if tempered by the preservation of minority rights? In other words, does the issuehinder governing according to the consent of the governed? If so, then reflect on what can be done torepair what some perceive as one of the Constitutions flaws. If not, why?
I. In the history of America, the Electoral College has placed in the White House some fivecandidates John Quincy Adams (1824), Rutherford B Hayes (1876), Benjamin Harrison (1888),George W Bush (2000) and Donald Trump (2016) who did not get most of the popular vote. Inat least one of those elections, that of 2016 the election winner did not even come close to thepopular vote. In fact, presidential candidates and their managers do not necessarily try to win thepopular vote, except as an afterthought. Instead, they dedicate themselves to putting together acoalition of states that would provide a majority of electoral votes, focusing on battlegroundstates such as Florida, and neglecting the rest.
II. There is a ten-week hiatus between Election Day and the associated presidential inauguration.This period is explicable, in large part, with regard to the need of the Electoral College to operate.In any case, during this period, the outgoing office holder is a lame-duck president with full legalauthority to make decisions. These actions are often controversial and could have adverse effectson the country and the succeeding president-elect. For example, just before leaving office in2001, President Clintons pardon of Marc Rich unleashed a firestorm of criticism. Outgoingpresidents might act this way because they can do controversial things that are desirable to them,without penalty.
III. Supreme Court Justices, demographically unrepresentative of the American population, areappointed to life tenures with good behavior. This is, in effect, a lifetime of service for judgeswho are not elected to office. In fact, they serve up to about four decades, and resign at theirleisure. Also, having distinct ideological tendencies and sensitive to the political climate, justicesoften time their resignations to mesh with their own political preferences as to their successors.In so doing, they impact the selection of incoming justices. Moreover, the Supreme Court isinfluential in the policy making process.
