I do understand that is speaking of a nation who is under the rule of a king, but the founding fathers were certainly sophisticated enough to understand the importance of that particular location of London being the dominant force of political power in the country. But I completely agree with your entire premise and that the electoral college is an incredibly flawed system and our view of how our nation should elect its leaders is incredibly skewed from what the founding fathers envisioned our future being.

2023-07-05 13:55:35 +0000 UTCHello my legal friends! I have a question about the statements made about population densities in the 18th century and our founding fathers understanding of cities and their governance. Is it at all notable that London had a population growth happen in the 18th century that was rather significant? They had a population of 750,000 and grew to a million. So to say that the founding fathers had no concept of cities or them "not being a thing" while they're mother nation had a very large city as the pillar of their civilization, seems to be at odds with what you said. Could you clarify that?
