Spelling, grammar, and logic will all be assessed in this paper, so please proof-read your paper and make sure the argument makes sense. Also, it is important that you draw upon the articles from the syllabus to help you make your argument, quoting and citing when appropriate. If you don\u2019t quote and cite the articles, you are telling me that you didn\u2019t bother to read the articles. So, use the articles to help make your case. Further, if you use the articles but don\u2019t quote and cite, that is called plagiarism. Remember the rule: if you use someone else\u2019s words, you must quote and cite. If you plagiarize, the professor reserves the right to fail you for the assignment and potentially to report your plagiarism to the appropriate administrative authorities. Don\u2019t plagiarize. Even Further: Don\u2019t do patch-writing. Patch-writing is when you copy and paste someone else\u2019s words (a sentence or paragraph) and then change words here and there to make it look original. PATCH-WRITING IS PLAGIARISM. Please don\u2019t do it. Please know that I only grade the last file that you submit to the dropbox, and that you can submit to the D2L dropbox as many times as you need to. Everytime that you submit, Turnitin.com will general a report that you can look at that will determine what unoriginal material is in your paper. Just because material is unoriginal does NOT mean it is plagiarism. If you have quoted and cited the unoriginal material, then you are fine. If you have not quoted and cited the unoriginal material, it may be plagiarism. If you have questions about anything in your paper, please ask me. <\/p>\n<p>We discussed (in a lecture video) the election of the President according to the Constitution, via the Electoral College.  We also discussed a movement called the National Popular Vote (go look at nationalpopularvote.com), which tries to bypass the electoral college without changing the constitution.  Describe both processes, and then make an argument for why one is better than the other. <\/p>\n<p>HINT: you must read the website to understand National Popular Vote. Read. Read. Read. Don\u2019t guess. Also, I explain this in a very basic way in the Lecture Video called How the President Gets Elected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 3 typed, double-spaced pages, please respond to the following topic in a logically coherent, well-argued manner.
