text: Controversey, a big word with lots of meaning, but what does it really mean in this context.  It is when two or more things are being argued about, in this case two politacal veiws.  Whether or not we should keep the electoral college or get rid of it and go back to popular vote for electing the President of the United States.  Having a little bit of controversey is good but the reason why the founding fathers made this into the constitution is to stop the out rageuos argueing that was going on when electing the First president.  It states in paragraph 3 ,"The electoral college consists of 538 electors.  A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president."  This shows that they didnt just make it to please one side of the arguement, this pleased both side because it was very fare and didnt favor one side to the other.  By doing this it nearly ended all of the argueing and controversey, which that is what they wanted to acomplish.
