"One wonders if the direct election of presidents is really the beginning of an effort to bring national government under the control of large and liberal states. [...] It contradicts our constitutional republic's state and federal government sharing of powers. Choosing presidents is one of our states' powers, and we should not remove it to begin a centralized national American government."
