The U.S. government has many issues but the one I will focus on is the electoral college. The issue of the electoral college is that it is an outdated system that would allow people to override the vote of people if they determined the people decision was wrong. This idea was valid when the country first started out and a major portion of the population was illiterate and very uneducated. If memory serves me well the population was   80 percent uneducated in this country. That has drastically decreased since the system was implemented, it is 21 percent per google, it was a 59 percent drop in illiteracy and educatedness in America.  So, the only point, in my opinion, is for the elite, to control the elections and put people in office that will help them and their friends, to make even more money and control the white house, which is the office in the last 30 years that has started “wars”. So, if they put people in office that want war so that they can make money. So, that lets them undermine the vote of the American people and who they want to put in office. Also, this will let them control all the policies that the president approves, in the way that he owes them for funding their campaign and arranging the “fair election” of the president. This system needs to be removed and not replaced what so ever. it needs to be replaced by a fair system in where the amount of people that vote for that party are in each state would be given that percent of the votes. Thus, the candidate with the most votes from the states. The second option is that the two candidates with the most votes would run the country.
