Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates how the rise of political combinations transformed America's political landscape. The author traces the evolution of the caucus and convention system, from its inception to its decline and replacement by direct primaries. The book explores the causes of this transformation and argues that political machines emerged due to increased population, industrialization, and immigration. These factors led to a more complex electorate, making it difficult for candidates to connect with voters directly. The book analyzes the corrupt practices that developed within the caucus and convention system and explores the various methods used to reform it. The book argues that the direct primary system was seen as a solution, but it also has its own set of challenges. The book concludes that the direct primary system, while having its flaws, is a necessary step in ensuring a more representative and responsive government. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331337218_0
