The first elections in the United States only allowed male property owners to vote. In 1828, all white men were allowed to vote. In 1824, John Quincy Adams won the election and many of Andrew Jackson's supporters were quite angry about it. So they worked at changing who was allowed to vote and how a candidate was selected. The candidates in the 1828 election were chosen by state conventions. Jackson's supporters would say that they wanted a man of the people, not the elite.

What can voters do in some states if they want to change their state constitution?
