If this refers to the election compromise at the Constitutional Convention, it is the decision that led to the electoral college. Many did not trust the electorate to choose the President because they believed the majority of "common people" were ill-informed and subject to "mob mentality". So instead of direct election, they decided on indirect election through electors.
