For the Democrats, it was 1948; for the Republicans, 1952. In all subsequent elections, the candidate was selected on the first ballot.
The Constitutional (Federal) Convention which met in Philadelphia on May 25, 1787, was represented by 12 states which had selected a total of 55 delegates to attend the meeting. Most of the delegates were, by virtue of their wealth and education, very influential people in their home states. Only two, Alexander Hamilton and Roger Sherman, could be said to represent the self-made man in the United States at that time. MrV
He was a back room power broker who said very little on the record but who left a major imprint on the proceedings. It was Morris who selected and nominated George Washington as the leader of the Convention and Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson and Gouverneur Morris are seen as surrogates for his grand designs and concepts.

An unpledged delegate refers to the unpledged status of a delegates ballot, the delegate being selected or elected by the state party of each party to attend the national convention of that party. A delegate is unpledged when State law governing the selection or election of delegates permits a delegate to cast their ballot at the national convention for any candidate (not the just the one who won a district or the entire state) in their party. State election laws of the several states (and they vary) may allow a delegate to be "unpledged" if: 1) The candidate that won the delegate in question has withdrawn from the election after the primary in that state was over. 2) No candidate at the national convention is able to obtain the required majority to confirm nomination on the 1st or 2nd round of balloting. 3) State laws, state party rules, and national convention rules vary on how many rounds of balloting must take place and what percentages constitute a non-majority before a delegate is "unpledged" and can vote for another candidate. Check with your state's election laws, and your parties state and national convention rules as it applies to delgates to determine if you are legally pledged or unpledged delegate.
In a nascent democracy the first step is to create and establish a process whereby delegates to a constitutional convention cam be selected. This can be a muddled affair. Who, for example, has the authority to convene such a convention? In a nation with an established constitution, that constitution should include the procedure for amending the existing constitution. A convention may be organized to propose amendments but there is still a ratification step whereby the constituent provinces or sub-states formally accept the constitution.
The final delegate selection to the U.S. Constitutional Convention (also known as the Philadelphia Convention or the Grand Convention, at the time) from the 13 states totaled 55. By state: * 8 from Virginia * 4 from New Jersey * 8 from Pennsylvania * 5 from North Carolina * 5 from Delaware * 4 from Georgia * 3 from New York * 4 from South Carolina * 4 from Massachusetts * 3 from Connecticut * 5 from Maryland * 2 from New Hampshire * 0 from Rhode Island Originally, different delegates were selected by Virginia, but three refused. Rhode Island declined to send any delegates. When the "Grand Convention" convened in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, most delegates hadn't arrived. By the 25th, however, there was a quorum, of 7 states, represented, and the convention began. Many delegates arrived weeks or months late, and others left early before the final voting. When the final version of a new Constitution was submitted for signing, on September 17, 39 men put their pens to the document.
George Washington was unanimously selected as the presiding officer of the convention.

Technically that will happen at the Republican Convention. But we may know who it will be before the convention takes place.
