Answer 1

The main difference in the 1830s was the shift from the caucus system to the nominating convention system. This change allowed for a more democratic and transparent process, as delegates representing different states and regions had a say in selecting the party's candidate. This shift gave a broader range of party members a voice in the selection process, rather than just a few influential leaders making the decision behind closed doors. This change led to a more inclusive and competitive process for selecting presidential candidates.
