Which is a major argument against the closed primary?
A major argument against closed primaries is that they restrict voter participation by limiting the ability of independent or unaffiliated voters to engage in the primary election process. This can lead to a lack of representation for a significant portion of the electorate, as the candidates chosen may not reflect the preferences of all voters in the general election. Additionally, closed primaries can reinforce partisan polarization, as they encourage candidates to cater primarily to their party's base rather than appealing to a broader audience.
Why do you have a primary election?
In a representative form of government, most nations have political parties. Thus, in a General election (that is, the election to chose the government representative), a political party puts forth a member of their party to contest in the election. A political party needs some method for choosing the party member to stand in the General election, and this is what we use Primary elections for.

Why was the caucus replaced by the convention as a nominating device?
Background: The presidential election of 1828 has been called the 'rise of the common man' election. The election was also nicknamed the 'Revolution of 1828'. It was a revolution that was in response to the 'Corrupt Bargain' of 1824 election when Jackson lost his bid for presidency when no candidate got a majority of the electoral votes. Reason: Replacing Caucuses (held in private) with Conventions was more democratic. This was a response by the people as an upwelling of support arose against 'back room deals' and candidates chosen by caucus without enough public input. Significance: Andrew Jackson was the first president not born of privilege. The election was the first time that individuals began to fight against corruption in politics.
