The correct answer to this open question is the following.

President Jackson ensured that the common people would be represented when presidential candidates were selected in that caucuses were replaced with nomination conventions.

It was important that he did so because in the past there was not a formal or organized campaign for the presidency in the United States. People selected their candidates in their regions. A caucus was the common way to nominate a candidate.
