As I understand it, there is nothing in the Constitution that gives any power to a political "Party"... and certainly not the power to determine who runs for President.
The members of the Parties don't even have to vote in a democratic way (one vote per person) to determine who will run for that Party.

Primaries were made up by the Democrats and Republicans. It is meant to create a two party system instead of a multiparty system. It is not democratic its a strong arm bullying tactic to keep the two parties as the focal point and not the public. Both parties spend millions of $$ to keep 3rd party candidates out of the race and media.
