What factors led to the convention replacing the caucus as a widely used nominating method?

I believe the answer is: we want our voters to educate themselves without outside opinions conflicting with our own beliefs that affect our voting choices

In a caucus, the representatives of each party for the presidential election is appointed by the voters, not the party.

Due to the complication of this method, the process changed into convention, where the right to choose the representatives for presidential candidates belong to the party.
