The US is not a democracy. We are a constitutional federal
republic that protects the rights and liberties of individuals
against democratic "tyrrany of the majority".
It is also good to give a little extra weight to the smaller
"flyover" states, ... Otherwise, their interests will be ignored
in favor of the Urban coastal areas. A good example is firearms
legislation-- just ask Al Gore why he lost the 2000 election.. The
electoral college is part of all this....
