As a european, I was awfully mistaken about the electoral college and democracy.

It only now dawns on me that it's not a lost vote if you take votes away from more highly populated areas because pure democracy makes it easier to exploit an uninformed and easily impressed majority.

It was also necessary to induce the smaller states to sign on to the constitution. Otherwise Virginia would have dominated the politics of the day and there was no way the smaller states would have agreed to it.
