To avoid another controversial election like the one in  2000 and 2016, should the United States do away with the Electoral College? Would providing a more direct influence for citizens to improve the process of presidential elections? Or does the system work fine? Explain.

If you want to do away with the Electoral College, what system do you want in its place? What effect do you think that system have on our elections - how would the results be different? What would the effects be for small versus big states? Explain why. If you do not want to do away with it, explain why you think it is still the best system.

You will type answers to questions in Word as much as possible. If an answer requires graphs or
equations you will handwrite those two parts of an answer. Be careful to graph things clearly and in
detail. Handwritten equations should be clearly and carefully written
1.
A. Using the IS-MP-FE and AD-A-LRAS model, GRAPH an economy operating at a point
where output is at its full employment level (Y=YFE), the real rate of interest is at its natural rate
(r=rN) and is at the desired rate of inflation (Hint: This is a point of GE, general equilibrium)
B. Starting from a position of GE, suppose the economy is hit by excessive optimism. In other
words, people expect higher future income and firms expect higher future marginal product of
capital. However, the central bank recognizes that there was no change in the level of full
employment output or in their target for inflation. What would the central bank do to keep
these variables operating at these desired l
