Q One implication of the history principle is that many aspects of our political system persist in a form that we would not choose today, such as (perhaps) state parties, the Electoral College system for choosing presidents, current political party coalitions, and equal representation of state in the U.S. Senate. For example, the Electoral College has produced a different President than who was elected via the popular vote. Is it a good or a bad aspect of our political system that many of our modern-day institutions are designed by choices made long ago?
