That's not why the Founders of the US Constitution instituted it, though; they did so out of a distrust of popular democracy. The EC was supposed to be a stop-gap, a release valve, if the US electorate got out of control and popularly elected a dimwit to the Presidency. This is why Senators were elected by state legislatures and not by the popular vote for over 100 years after the founding of the Republic.
