  • RESOLVED, Political Parties Should Nominate Candidates for President in a National Primary Distribute
    8 RESOLVED, political parties should nominate candidates for president in a national primary distribute PRO: Caroline J. Tolbert or CON: David P. Redlawsk From the beginning, the Constitution offered a clear answer to the question of who should elect the president: the electoral college. Or did it? Virginia delegate George Mason was not alone in thinking that after George Washington had passed from the scene,post, the electoral college would seldom produce a winner. In such a far-flung and diverse country, Mason reasoned, the electoral vote would almost invariably be fractured, leaving no candidate with the required 50 percent plus one of electoral votes. Mason estimated that “nineteen times in twenty” the president would be chosen by the House of Representatives, which the Constitution charged with making the selection from among the top five (the Twelfth Amendment, enacted in 1804, changed it tocopy, the top three) electoral vote getters in the event that no candidate had the requisite electoral vote majority. In essence, Mason thought, the electoral college would narrow the field of candidates and the House would select the president. notMason was wrong: in the fifty-seven presidential elections since 1788, the electoral college has chosen the president fifty-five times. Not since 1824, in the contest between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and William Crawford, has the House chosen the president. And contrary to Do Mason’s prediction, the nomination of candidates has been performed not by the electoral college but by political parties. Copyright © 2014 by CQ Press, a division of SAGE.

The major reasons given for default were loss of income due either to misfortunes in the job market or illness. Debtors who bought from direct sellers and used automobile dealers reported deceit in the original transaction much more frequently than did other debtors. When the various debtor and creditor characteristics are correlated to each issue, some unexpected findings occur. Race and income are only slightly related to whether a person reported actual receipt of a summons, while general quality of the neighborhood in which he lived and type of dwelling unit were more highly related to service. It was also found that the three most frequent creditor plaintiffs in New York, a bank, a direct seller, and a finance company, all had much lower rates of reported actual service than other similar creditors. The lowest rate went to the finance company, only 32% of whose customers reported actual receipt.
