Final answer:
The nominating process violates consent of the governed and representative democracy through the use of the Electoral College system.
Step-by-step explanation:
One way our nominating process violates consent of the governed and representative democracy is through the use of the Electoral College to determine the president. While citizens vote for representatives, their vote does not directly determine the outcome of the presidential election. Instead, the Electoral College system gives more weight to the votes of citizens in certain states, which can lead to a candidate winning the presidency without winning the popular vote. This can be seen as a violation of the principle of one person, one vote, and undermines the idea of a representative democracy where the outcome is determined by the will of the majority.
