The purpose of the distribution of seats in the Electoral College is to ensure that the president equally represents small and large states. This is answer choice C.

Under the Electoral College system, each state is given a certain number of seats based on their population. This means that more populated states have more influence in the Electoral College since they have more seats. However, even smaller states receive at least two seats to provide some level of representation.

This distribution of seats helps to balance the influence of different states, ensuring that smaller states still have a say in the presidential election. The Electoral College system promotes a form of proportional representation, where the number of seats allocated to each state reflects their population relative to the overall population of the country. Therefore, the goal is to prevent domination by either small or large states and encourage a fair representation of all states in the election process.
