explain any four reasons for adopting the indirect method of election for the presidental election ? four shot reasons?
Answers
Answer:
the election of the United States president and the vice president is indirect election. Voters elect the Electoral College, which then elects the president. The Electoral College is a controversial issue in American politics, as the Electoral College vote may not agree with the popular vote.
The president of the European Commission is nominated by the European Council and confirmed or denied by the directly elected European Parliament (see Elections to the European Parliament).
in the United Kingdom, the prime minister usually is a member of the House of Commons, the lower, elected house of Parliament, and is the leader of the political party with the most seats able to command a majority either outright or by agreement with other parties. Similar arrangements are used in the devolved assemblies and most local councils.
in Spain, the Congress of Deputies votes on a motion of confidence of the king's nominee (customarily the party leader whose party controls the Congress) and the nominee's political manifesto, an example of an indirect election of the prime minister of Spain.
Many countries with parliamentary systems elect their head of state indirectly (Germany, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Malta, Hungary, India, Israel, Bangladesh). In most of these, head of state is merely a ceremonial figurehead with limited power.
Political party nominees can be indirectly elected in party conventions, such as in the United States. Local caucus attendants vote for delegates, who vote for a nominee in state conventions.
Answer:
First, the power really resided in the council of minister, headed by the prime minister and the union parliament and not in the president as such.
Second, the framers of the constitution wanted the presidential election to remain of quiet and dignified affair.
Third, it would be difficult to provide an electoral machinery for an election in which millions of people would have to participate.
Fourth, a direct election would place too much of power in the hands of the masses, many of whom being illiterate even now.
