Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Antimasons were the first political party to use the convention system for choosing candidates. This system allowed party members to gather in one place and select their preferred candidate through a series of votes, rather than relying on a small group of party insiders to make the decision. The convention system became widely adopted by other political parties and is still used today.
