Report f the Committee cn the Resolutions of Georgia, relative to the election of Pre . - j sidettt and Vice Prresident. ' The committee to whom was re ferred certain tfsoluttonsoftfie State of Georgia, recommending to the se veral Males the expediency of so ameniling the -'-Constitution- of the United States, as in future to pre vent, under anycercurnstances, the election; of President and Vice Pre sident from devolving oii'ilie House of Representative of tlie United States, REPORT. That they are duly sensible of the importance of the subject com mitfeoj to them, and tha weight of re ponsibility they incur, whenjprdpos ingjthp amendment, in any particular of so sacred an instrument as the Constitution, of the United States. But; the circumstances attendiue the late election of president, iiave given such general dissatisfaction to the nation, and have so clearly shewn the ease with which the will of the people may be frustrated, that a remedy appears indispensable. Your committee believe the inter vention of Electors unnecessary, and that so Ions: as that mode of choosing, is resorted to, the evils so generally complained of must fre quently occur; and the voice of 5 the people be often unattended to. In order to illustrate this, they beg leave to put the following hypothe sis: Suppose two State,; one enti tied to 20 electoral votes, the other to 21, and that 4,000 votes are gi ven to earh elector This would givei 80,000 votes in the one, and 84,000 votes in the other State. A. and B. are candidates' for the presi clency. In the tstaie entitled to 20 electoral votes, A. has an Utianim ous vote, that is, he receives 80,000 vote9. In the other State, which is entitled io 21 electoral votes, land having 84,000 voters, there is much division; but B. obtaios 44,000 votes, and A. 40,000. "Now "by the present mode of electing by electors, VB. gains this state with 1 electoral votes; so tn at witn 44,000 votes trom the people, he has 21. votes in the electoral college, whilie A. with 120,000 votes of the people, has but 20. votes.:' ; ; -V:' : : ; ,, .; ' . . It may here be said tlat such a case; is not - likely to happen; but your committee would rtply, such a case ought never to haunen,' nei- Ither jshould there be a possibility of lis Happening, ; i our committee are lully aware that it is much easier to uov out a fault, than annlv a cor- ..,a..4I.i a.?mit in silence. Thev nt-e fl.r mm stronghthened in this opinion, from the, reflection that the rnode of a mending the Constitution of. the United States, is one of the safest provisions in it, for no amendment can oe receivea, tin agreed to bv three fourths of the states: and when: 1 ,1 , ' , '.r" "v i : vwnrivn . yooi Ait-lit, ui uui i jrhntiirv:! the varimia intprpat. nd -l vb,i,.na nnnnno i...f no avJ 'biflvrvuftawuowai iiiuii.i Liana, iiiusb I ; L-pi'tr i Iiq f m a.aawa m mm a v w. w w a, a a a a Isalufarv amendment should fail. than an evil one be admitted. In that nartotlie Constitution ..the United States, which relates to the election of President and Vice? permineu io givt? suurage. xma President, your committee would ; difference as to qualification among say,r with much deference, they think: the states,! has not escaped the no no advantageous alteration could be! tice of your ; committee; and although made, but on the basis of preserving' it has cost sora4 trouble and reflec to each state, the relative weight tion, they hope and believe all diffi- sue at present possesses, anuin aninj u,u entire exclusion of the House of Re presentatives of the United States from al I electoral powers relati ve to the1 election of president and vice president. Upon these principles added to that of the people's voting directly for. president and vice pre- 1 sitlent tliey beg leave to offer the following plan: It sJiall require a majority of votes, equal to all the Senators and Representatives of the-United States to ..elect a president and vice presi dent.

The number ol each candidate's vote for president and vice president, shall then be ad ded up separately,' and their several numbers divided by the number ob tained, by dividing the whole votes of the State by the number of sena tors and 'representatives the state is entitled to: and as often a the number can be obtained, out i)f this number of votes given to A. B. and C. for president or vice president, so many votes are they entitled to, and also to any fractional part of a vote. . j . j.--.. - :. The G o vernors of the several states shall send the result of the e lection, each by a special messenger to the p re ident of the senate of the United States, who shall open tmjm as heretofore on the day of and count them, add-r ing together also, the fractional parts of votes, which each candidate may have received; and in case no :er?;ori ; should have re- eived a ma jority of votek. then the president of the senate shall transmit to the go vernors of the several states, the re suit of th' electi nan should the le gislature of anystatj? not he in ;ession during the first week in January, the governor of such state, shall call the legislature to be- in session: in that week, j And the legislatures of the respective states throughout; the Union, shall determine in the hrst week ih'January, (where an election has failed to be made by thefpeople,) from the two candidates fur presi dent and vice president respectively having the ereatest number of votes which siiall be president, ana wnicn shall be vice president. In this mode of electifn, each state shall have one vote and the members of the legisla- turefeach state shall give theirvotes by. ayes and noes, as the names of the candidates are severally put to them; and in the event of a tie of the le gislatures, then the candidate who had the greatest number ot votes from the people, for president, shall be president; and the candidate liav insc the greatest number of votes fronl the people, for vice president, shall be vice president J n sttomiumg mis pian, your cum- ! mittee beg leave to say something in exiManatioii. The States of the tt: ' in tUnn.liA - - i cations ' necessary tor a vote. In Virginia the freeln inlder alone is re - .;ceiveu;.wnne in iortn aro.ma, ofi every free citizen of 21 years of age, ! and who has paid a public tax, is moved. The plan proposed, secures to each state in the Union, her tull weight, according to popu'ation, let the qualifications necessary to entitle an individual to exercise the right of suffrage be what they may. To prove this, they submit the toi lowing preposition: Suppose in the election of a presi dent and vice president, North-Ca rolina shonld give 100,000; votes; and that her senators and represen tatives in congress, united, amount to 15. Divide (according to the plan proposed) 100,000 by 15, and the number obtained is 6,666 and a and a fraction; and the 38,000 votes -J'".. given n to B. divijled .will give hi in in the samo five v)tes and way a fraction.. This rule is certain and unerring: it shews the relative strength oi the parties, . preserves them. tin. and divide, thn nroTPfrjvrt by an arbitrary number, say 10.000. Is a reason reiiui red for this? Thev arswer, an aibilrary number is in dispensable, because, when throw-, ing the fractional parts of vntee from various states together, all; dif fering in the number of votes they are entitled to jin electing a presi dent and vice president, there must be some, certain number fixed upon as a divider, which will as well ap ply to one state as another. . Your committee; again expresses he diffidence with which they offer heir opinions to the legislature, and should they be so fortunate as even to present a thought Avhich may hereafter prove Wteficial, it u ill ho more than a compensation for the la hour they have bestowed upon this subject.
