Answer:

Hamilton said that 'Excellent' was the least way to describe the method of selection of the President through the electoral college. The arrangement was perfect for him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist 68 paper described the method of selecting the president of the United States through the electoral college- a group of people selected by the masses in their states, as a perfect or excellent process. In his opinion, the electoral college accurately represented the 'sense of the people'.

The fact that they were not a preestablished body or in any political position makes it better as they were not subject to bias. They made their votes in a detached position, that is their individual states where they could not be overcome by, heat and ferment' in the form of opposition or bias.
