Samantha England, a sophomore, made the presentation \u201cIndirect Elections of the Executive Branch\u201d at the Tennessee Collegiate Honors Council 2021. She said the focus of her presentation was to compare how the United States elected the executive branch compared to parliamentary republics that used indirect elections.<\/p>\n

In indirect elections, voters do not pick between\u00a0candidates who will occupy the office but elect others who make the choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is known for using the Electoral College, but it is not common knowledge that it is not wholly unique to us,\u201d she said. \u201cMy presentation focused on Estonia, India and Vanuatu using indirect elections to elect the executive branch of their governments. I compared the structure of their governments and their electoral systems to the United States. I highlighted the key points that differed and what was similar to the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal was to educate that democracies can be very similar while still having differences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Mary Cooper, associate professor of political science and director of Tusculum\u2019s Honors Program<\/a>, said England\u2019s presentation grew from a research paper she completed in the fall semester in Dr. Cooper\u2019s special topics class on the 2020 election cycle.<\/p>\n

\u201cSam exemplifies intellectual curiosity and commitment to excellence in everything she does,\u201d Dr. Cooper said. \u201cShe is already showing impressive scholarship as a student, and that was reflected in her well-developed presentation. We are confident she will emerge from her studies prepared to make an impact in her profession.\u201d<\/p>\n
