so if the electors in the Electoral College are appointed by the legislature, why even have presidential elections?

I believe that would be just fine by the constitution. This country was meant to have a weak federal government and strong state governments. States were to have all the say and not the "people." Of course they would have their say via state elections but that's all gone by the wayside. The 17th amendment cemented the states giving up their power. The country has been F'd ever since. In general state assemblies have been much more conservative than the congressional makeup and the country would be so much better off if states had the powers originally granted via the constitution.
