Question

In the early years of the American republic (before the 19th century), party nominees were chosen by delegates in the party's national convention.
True or False ?

Answer 1

The answer is false, there were no thing called party's national convention, instead of that, they had a presidential nominating convention held every four year where delegates gave a nominee by votes. On that convention delegates also voted for other interest of the party, such as shift on old charges to new ones, etc.
