Social Contract Theory paper

apply social contract theory to the issue of whether we should continue to use the electoral college to elect presidents or alter the system to use the popular vote. 

One of the key issues in social contract theory is the nature of the consent of the participants to the contract.  With regard to our current system of government a unique feature of electing public officials is that we do not elect the president by popular vote but by the electoral college system.

Your task in this assignment is to analyze this issue and provide a reasoned argument for either keeping or repealing this system using social contract theory as the basis of your argument.

The resources provided below will provide you some historical context.  You will need to address the reasons for the existence of the electoral college in your response so you need to use these resources.
