text: Many people will voice there opinions, listen to the good ones negativity will always be in this world. Your friends and family are here for you, they give you advice because they care. Hearing a lot of positive advice gives you a positive mindset and we need it a lot right now in this type of world. Many people that we know today are were they are now because of the advice the received. Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because it can keep you from making wrong decisions, it can help lead you to a road of success, and the variety of people that we know today wouldn't be were they are today without others opinions or advice.The Declaration of Independence granted us the right to control our government. Thomas Jefferson once stated, "When a nations government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of its people to abolish it and establish a new government." After viewing the articles Source 1:"What Is the Electoral College?" by the Office of the Federal register, Source 2: "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" by Bradford Plumer, and  Source 3:"In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President" by Richard A. Posner it seems clear that the Electoral Colleges have lessened the power of the people in our nation. With the Electoral College method of selecting our nations new president the people of our nation become less empowered, they may cast their vote but the choice of president is never truly theirs. The Electoral Colleges drive people away from voting because they see the election as if their vote will not matter. To further empower the citizens of the United States the Electoral Colleges should be abolished.
