Our Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government provide a system of checks and balances for political power.

The Electoral College does much the same for the power of the popular vote.

Without it, the people in high density population areas could collectively control the Presidency even though their geographical area is diminutive (see post #32). That would not work so well for such a large and diverse country.
