Party members were put in charge.
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.
Party members were put in charge.
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.
With the establishment of the direct primary, the role of citizens in the political process increased significantly. Prior to the direct primary, party leaders had more control over the candidate selection process. However, with the direct primary, citizens gained the power to directly vote for their preferred candidate, giving them a greater say in the nomination process and increasing their involvement in the political system.
The direct primary replaced the convention in most states to promote greater democratic participation and reduce the influence of party elites in the candidate selection process. By allowing voters to directly choose their party's nominees, the direct primary aimed to enhance transparency and accountability within the political system. This shift also sought to empower ordinary citizens, ensuring that candidates were more in tune with the preferences of the electorate rather than being selected behind closed doors at party conventions. Ultimately, it reflected a broader movement toward democratization in American politics during the early 20th century.

Wisconsin was indeed the first state to require a direct primary for an election. Robert LaFollette, Wisconsin's governor at the time, successfully advocated for this system.
