if you gave from massachusetts james hancock and the other for james wilson. and there were compromises with differences, you're not going to have a president picked by the people. you're going to have state legislators are those. and they assumed there was independent judgment. and then they aportion that the south gets greater clout and the states have greater opportunity to elect somebody. so the electoral college, plus your house numbers and plus your senators. and this one has bigger than the population of delaware. and in the electoral college, there would be a 4-1 advantage rather than 10-1 advantage. the slave states liked that because their house numbers includes the number of slaves for the three-fifths rule and other complications worked in there. the only way to defend the congress today and the indirect election never works that way so now we have a pop already-- and it's possible for the faithful elector. in terms of mal aportionment, it gives voters in wyoming more power. california 55 electoral votes. wyoming has three. but they have bigger pop

. >> guest: there's this sort of famous atlantic article, written by james wilson and george cowling in 1982, called "broken windows" and i would say it's got be one of most influential magazine articles published. it was just a magazine article. not a scholarly piece that was peer reviewed. just was in the atlantic. the two people that did it are academics but it was a public -- and it starts off actually -- actually starts from an interesting and really good place. the initial experiment that they are writing about is a newark them and which they basically are trying to get cop us out of their cars and to walk the beat. which there's a lot of reason to think that's good. right? and the experiment if cops focus on order maintenance -- not just the law but order maintenance will they reduce crime? what is incredible about the article is that actually the experiment they cite finds no reduction in crime. but what they do find is a kind of placebo effect, which is that people report feeling safer. and they then take this finding to make an argument to completely sort of reorient polici

would vote for their candidate, but massachusetts would vote for hancock, pennsylvania would be james wilson, small states would never have a president so they compromised a lot of differenc differences. one thing is you're not going to have the president picked directly by the people but state legislators deciding how they are chosen then they apportion them in such a way that the south gets greater clout than they would in a direct election. so it's the number of house and senators. virginia has 12 times the population of delaware in the house there are ten virginia representatives but in the electoral college you have done to the house members which means there are 12 electors from virginia and three from delaware that is an advantage rather than 10-1 advantages of the small states like that the house number includes the number and address other complications in their the only way to defend today is the now apportionment because now we have a popular election except for the possibility of electorate but it turns out basically what the college does is gives four times the power of the vote

wilson. mystion -- james: i think question was a little more loaded than you expected. my question is what were the expectations for american foreign-policy going forward? the assumption was not to enter the war but there were a number of provocations on the way, and there were divisions in the what way and over which divisions work coming up in the war. thate of the things woodrow wilson, and his neutrality more marks -- remarks, was very concerned about was that this war could care america apart domestically because we had lots of recent immigrants that come from the nations that are at war. you can see right away different ethnic groups lining up. there are reports of fights breaking out on street corners in new yoryork a sense that america has to learn what it means to be american, and being american means staying out of these disputes that could in fact end up causing civil disobedience or civil unrest in the united states is really important. i would argue that in the period of neutrality, we have to be careful about what the official position of the government wa
