Answer 1

The counterclaim that refutes the claim "The Electoral College was intended to protect minority rights over majority rule" is:

The Electoral College fails to uphold democratic principles by denying the will of the people.

This counterclaim argues that the Electoral College does not effectively protect minority rights because it can lead to outcomes that do not reflect the overall will of the population, thus challenging the idea that it serves to protect minority interests.
