BARRIERS TO A NATIONAL PRIMARY LAW.
- Authors
HANSEN, RICHARD H.
- Abstract
The article offers information on the national primary law of the U.S. and also focuses on barriers related to this law. It mentions that this law emerged due to the impracticable nature of the majority of the bills related to the procedure of nominating the president in the country. It informs that senator Thomas Griswold Hillhouse was the first in presenting the first constitutional amendment in Congress, to alter the process of nominating and electing president. It investigates how the Hillhouse introduced primary bills to change the nominating procedure. It discusses how a uniform law in the U.S. places the names of all candidates on the ballot in the most simplest form. It highlights the objectives of a committee formed on a Uniform Primary Law.
