Just a note to the stopping distances of a vehicle....these facts and figures are for a driver who is alert and well rested, in good health and not impaired by alcohol or medication. Weather and road conditions, as well as type of vehicle and weight of load being carried can also affect these stopping distance.
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
Alexander Hamilton was one of the Founding Fathers who recognized the need for parties to organize thought, band together to support ideas, and draw people of like minds to work toward common purpose. He was the key motivator behind the creation of the Federalist Party and was the driving force behind it until his untimely death.
