Before the era of presidential primary elections, political party conventions were routinely brokered. The Democratic Party required two-thirds of delegates to choose a candidate, starting with the first Democratic National Convention in 1832, and then at every convention from 1844 until 1936.s a result, on June 3, Obama was declared the presumptive nominee that evening, with pledged delegates from Montana and South Dakota. Clinton conceded on June 7, urging her supporters to support Obama in the general election, and so no brokered convention resulted for the Democrats in 2008.
The convention was held over a span of a month from December 15, 1814 to January 5, 1815. On January 5,1815 the vote to secede from the union was turned down as the Americans had begun to win the war. The Hartford Convention had long lasting effects. The meeting essentially ruined and exterminated the Federalist party as the American people lost trust in it. The downfall of the Federalist Party would leave room for other parties, such as the Republican Party to rise.
