How does the electoral college combine elements of both unitary and confederate goverment ?

Question

I undestand that the electoral college are chosen by their state legislative and cast a vote to elect the president that would make them unitary, but how are they confederate ?

I can think for myself im just confused as to what all the terms mean, im taking an advanced class and its overwhelming with all the work and such a short time to do them .

Alright would this be the answer then

Unitary: The appointed electors choose the head of the excutive branch through federal vote.

Confederate: the electors are chosen by their respective states through the state legislative vote .

Answer 1

You are thinking about it too deeply.. it is not that complex if you step back and look at it.

You question was about combining unitary and confederate gov...

It is like pieces to a puzzle... the voters select a candidate = the elector in their district... then that electorate goes on to participate in votes that elect governmental positions via commission, committees, etc...

Answer 2

What are the core principles of the confederate model? State's rights over federal unity. Especially the state governments above all.

So, given that the electoral college is based on the state appointing electors, for the purpose of choosing a single federal executive, what parts of the unitary system are present and what principles of confederacy are being employed?

If someone hands you an answer, and you turn it in as yours, that no only defeats the purpose of the exercise. That's plagiarism. Think for yourself. Work through the process. Understand the issues. That's the point of the exercise.
