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). This arrangement weakens the party organizations by denying them the ability to control the selection of party nominees. This is why ordinary party voters have more power over the nomination of candidates. Thus, individual candidates must build their own personal campaign organizations and electoral followings, first to win the primaries and then the general elections. This is not always the case in some other countries where the political parties exercise far more organizational influence than individual party voters.
