In the United States, a presidential candidate is selected through a series of primary elections and caucuses held in each state. Political parties hold these events to determine the candidate who will represent them in the general election. Delegates are awarded to candidates based on their performance in these events, and the candidate with the most delegates ultimately becomes the party's nominee for president.
The President was George Washington was the 1st president and he had no competitor. So he won by default.
The primary election was introduced during the Jacksonian era.
Caucuses. The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention.
In the recent past, primaries were used both to select delegates and to

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 president of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. His leadership was widely respected, and delegates believed that his presence would lend credibility to the proceedings. Washington’s role was crucial in guiding the discussions that ultimately led to the drafting of the United States Constitution.
