Unit IV Article Critique
Access the CSU Online Library. Within the database “Academic

Underhill, Wendy. "Changing up the electoral college?" State
Legislatures 38.1 (2012)
Gregg, Gary L. "Unpopular vote: enemies of the Electoral
College aim to scrap the Founders' design." The American
Conservative 10.12 (2011)
Upon reading the two articles, write a response essay of at least
500 words. Your essay should address the Electoral
College as it currently functions, as well as the proposed
changes discussed in the two articles. Are you in support of the
current Electoral College? Do you agree or disagree with the
proposed changes? Is it right for states to circumvent the
Constitution on this matter? Your essay should be well thought
out and include direct references to the articles. Limited
direct quotes are permitted. All references (paraphrased or
quoted) should be correctly cited using APA format.
APA Guidelines
CSU requires that students use the APA style for papers and
projects. Therefore, the APA rules for formatting, quoting,
paraphrasing, citing, and listing of sources are to be followed.
A document titled “APA Guidelines Summary” is available
for you to download from the APA Guide Link, found in the
Learning Resources area of the myCSU Student Portal. It may
