You don't want the chief executive of this country beholding to the politicians of large population states.


I dont Want him beholden to a bunch of unpopulated states either.

Don't look now, but our Constitution brilliantly solved this problem. It is called the EC.

Wouldn’t it make sense to break up the power of these big states and let their minority’s votes count?

You don't know crap about the US Constitution. Maybe you would even fail a US Citizenship test.
Article II section 1 of the United States Constitution establishes the Electoral College. It states,
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The founding fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president by popular vote and electing the president by Congressional vote. Specifically stated by Jefferson, Madison etc. they did not want rule by MOB.
