A primary is a method of selecting a candidate similar to that of a general election. It is an organized statewide event put on by the state government where voters cast a secret ballot for the candidate of their choosing. Whomever receives a majority of the votes is the winner. In state and local elections, this candidate goes on to run for the office. In a presidential primary, however, the winner is given a majority number of the state’s delegates to the nominating convention. Most states only allow voters to participate in the party’s primary in which they identify as a member.

Caucus: Organized by political parties, a caucus is a meeting of supporters of a specific political party who gather to elect delegates to choose whom they believe should be the candidate in a given election. A caucus is a very different process. Organized by the political parties themselves, caucuses are a “meeting of neighbors”. Groups of citizens come together in local assemblies to discuss who they think will be the best candidate. At the end of the meeting, an election is held where by delegates to a county or state convention who pledge to support the majority candidate are selected. These delegates go on to select the delegates to the national convention, who will eventually choose which candidate from that party will run for office.

Explanation:

State elections or Primary elections-" The elections which are organized by the state for the purpose of nominating a candidate for a particular role in the state system are called as primary elections."

Causes Election-" It is arranged by the political parties which take part in the elections process, to nominate the candidates to run in the primary elections."

Explanation:

The elections are arranged by the state system to nominate a candidate as a "President or Chief executive" from the candidates running in the elections, selected by the people of that country. The nominated candidate holds the office for 4 years if elected after which another primary election takes place.(depending on the region or the system)

The nomination of candidates with in a party system, as these candidates if elected by the political party system, will make then be eligible for taking part in the then arranged primary elections. Its basically on a party level to get the number of required candidates to take part in the elections

states grant a variety of local governments power to meet residents’ needs (source: apex learning). hope this !

well it depends i think people around the world are coming around to gay marriage. but if you are talking abortion then wow, so much to talk about. such as men thinking they have the right to choose if women can, the fact there are health concerns if the women can't get one, and many more arguments to discuss. so i would definitely say abortion would be a much more interesting topic.
