The national convention system for nominating presidential candidates was developed by the Democratic Party in the early 19th century. This system was established to provide a more formal and inclusive process for selecting candidates, allowing party members from different states to come together and choose their nominee. The convention system has since been adopted by other political parties in the United States.

"Both major political parties in the United States select their
presidential candidates through a process of primary elections.
However, voters do not directly select presidential nominees in
these primaries. Instead, they choose delegates from their
respective states who will attend a national party convention to
nominate a presidential candidate for their party." from
