can i get help with this one please!
The 2nd party system? I never heard of it. The two-party system originated with differing opinions about the role of the national government. It was not originally meant to nominate presidential candidates, but quickly became that. So, which do you think the answer is? It has nothing to do with the methods by which the parties choose their nominees, be it primaries, polls, "smoke-filled rooms" or whatever.
