Why do you think delegates to the constitutional convention might have had a difficult time deciding how to choose the president and the vice president

Answer and Explanation:

The format for choosing the president and vice president was a very challenging one for the delegates to the constitutional convention because of the following opposing views that were expressed by different delegates:

1. Some delegates supported the notion that the president and vice be chosen by the legislature. On Other hand, other delegates who supported direct election, argued that if the president and vice were to be chosen by the legislature, then the president would have an unfair opportunity or advantage to serve more than one term if the president would work and act to please the legislators; in fact, the delegates felt that the president would concentrate more on the legislature, rather than on carrying out presidential responsibilities.

2. Other delegates who opposed direct election felt that the president would likely come from one of the most populous states, and the general public would not have sufficient knowledge of various presidential candidates in order to make a wise choice.

3. Still yet there were some delegates who believed that if the president and vice were to be chosen in the nation’s capital, it would be influenced by foreign governments, special interests, and political factions. However, if they were to be selected in home states, it would be difficult for electors to conspire to buy or sell votes.
