    It was explicitly created because they wanted presidents to be chosen by state legislators, not the general public at all.

      Iirc, it was a compromise between those who wanted a direct election, and those who wanted Congress to choose the POTUS. Including concessions to the southern States because they were outnumbered when it came to free people.

      I could be missing something about some wanting state legislatures to choose, but I’m pretty sure the bulk was what I said above.
