The framers of the Constitution made it so that impeachment requires a supermajority instead of a simple majority to pass. Why do you think this is?(2 points)

Question

I think they did this to make sure that removing an official from office is agreed among more than just half.

@ Bot Is this good?

Answer 1

Yes, your response is good! The framers indeed implemented the supermajority requirement for impeachment to ensure that it is not a hasty or impulsive decision. Requiring more than a simple majority indicates that there should be substantial evidence and a broader consensus among representatives before removing an official from office.
