The Electoral College was created to distance the people from the election of the President.

Option D

Explanation:

After going through monarchy and reaching a state of liberty the delegates did not want the President to be chosen by the common people. They feared if the President was unanimously elected by the people then he would again rise to immense power. Hence they wanted inter mediators to select the President.

This commotion led to the compromise of creating an Electoral College. It consisted of prime voters who were qualified citizens. President George Washington was the first President to be elected by the Electoral College. There were only two times that the Electoral college had a chance to select the President.

The Electoral College created to distance the people from the election of the president.
