Over the years, the electoral process has changed a lot. As per the original rules, each state legislature selected its electors.

This system was in practice until the 1800 election. (the Presidential Electoral Process) By 1800, American politics were dominated

The obstacles to participation have changed over time and today formal barriers to participation have largely disappeared. Nevertheless, voting turnout has declined over the twentieth century, and the poor and less educated continue to vote at a lower rate than those who are wealthier and
The prevailing culture has its greatest effect in terms of the form of government accepted by the people.
