What two arguments resulted in the electoral

college compromise?

The Electoral College came out of a compromise in 1787, and as a result, American citizens have indirectly elected the President ever since. The Constitution alloted each state a number of electors based on the combination of each states' members in the House of Representatives (determined by population) and adding each states' two Senators. In order to win the election, a candidate must obtain a quorum (half plus one) of the total votes cast by the College delegates. Today, there are 538 Electoral College votes, with 270 being the "magic number" needed to win.

Some of the delegates in Philadelphia wanted to elect the president by popular vote, while other delegates favored having the president elected.
