This refers to the system where the results of primary elections direct delegates to vote at the national convention to select the candidate for the presidential election.
Superdelegates are high-ranking party officials and leaders who have the power to vote for the Democratic Party's presidential nominee at the national convention. They are not bound by the results of primary elections and caucuses, allowing them to influence the nomination process based on their own judgment and preferences.
All party members get to vote in the presidential primaries whereas they do not in the caucus system.

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.
Alaska began using the caucus system in 1980 when it first held a presidential caucus. This system was implemented to engage party members in the selection of delegates for the presidential nomination process. Prior to that, Alaska used a primary system to determine its delegates. The caucus format has allowed for more direct participation by party members in the decision-making process.
Primaries or Primary. Delegates to the national convention are allocated (chosen) on the basis of percentage of votes candidates win in the presidential primary. This system has been used in most of the states.
Major political parties may not have much interest in reforming the presidential primary process because it allows them to maintain control and influence over the nomination process. By having a system that is more influenced by party elites and established structures, parties can ensure that their preferred candidates have a better chance at securing the nomination. Additionally, major parties tend to prioritize stability and continuity, and may be hesitant to make significant changes that could disrupt the established order.
