The three methods of the presidential election discussed by the framers of the Constitution were; Congressional selection, direct vote of the people and electoral college. In the end electoral college won out.

They grappled with concerns about a strong centralized authority potentially leading to tyranny, which influenced the decision to establish a system of checks and balances.
