"As parties began to develop around the turn of the 19th century, you had party nominees for President nominated in caucuses made up of party members in Congress"

About this Quote

This quote by Michael Beschloss is referring to the development of political parties in the United States. At the turn of the 19th century, political parties started to form and arrange. As a result, celebration members in Congress began to form caucuses to choose prospects for President. These caucuses were made up of celebration members in Congress, and they were responsible for picking the party's candidate for President. This procedure of nominating candidates for President through caucuses of party members in Congress has actually been a part of the American political system since. It is an important part of the democratic process, as it allows for the choice of candidates who represent the values and beliefs of the celebration.
