Answer:
Compared with political parties in most other democratic countries, political parties in the United States
grant ordinary party voters far more power over the nominating process.
Explanation:
The political parties in the United States nominate their candidates by using primaries (primary elections). Â This arrangement weakens the party organizations by denying them the ability to control the selection of party nominees. Â This is why ordinary party voters have more power over the nomination of candidates. Â Thus, individual candidates must build their own personal campaign organizations and electoral followings, first to win the primaries and then the general elections. Â This is not always the case in some other countries where the political parties exercise far more organizational influence than individual party voters.
