Description

The distinguished contributors to this instructive volume -- including Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Michael Barone, and Walter Berns -- show why it would be folly to abolish the Electoral College by explaining not only its historical and cultural significance, but also its contemporary role in instilling a measure of stability and sanity to our electoral and party systems. This is the definitive volume for all those interested in the logic, and continuing importance of this unique American political institution.
