Men are free
Winner-take-all
The delegates would all vote again if a ballot was a tie. Before the vote, they would have a chance to meet and discuss their next vote. There have been many votes at some conventions before some one got a majority.
no, the amount of delegates rewarded is parallel to the percentage of votes received. delegates are also allocated through caucases.
The winner-takes-all system is the one under which a candidate who wins the preference vote in a primary automatically receives the support of all delegates in that primary. In this system, there is no proportional distribution of delegates based on the percentage of votes received; instead, the candidate with the most votes takes all the delegates.
The primary elections are for delegates to the National nomination convention. Not all states have them and the way in which they select delegates varies. Sometimes the delegation is divided in proportion to the vote, sometimes the one with the most votes get all of the delegates. Sometimes the primaries are only advisory information for the delegates. If no candidate has a majority of the bound and committed delegates by convention time, delegates are all free after the first ballot to vote as they choose. Ballots are taken and deals are made and delegates switch votes until finally one candidate has a majority.
Benjamin Franklin knew that the delegates didn't all agree with everything that was written in the Constitution. He didn't agree with everything either, but compromises had been made and he felt everyone should set aside the "my way is best" notion and sign the document.
