Why was the caucus system viewed with such disdain before the election of 1824?

Caucus system was viewed with great disdain by the people before 1824 because it was considered a very undemocratic form of system. Many people revolted against this system and justifiably so. In most cases the caucus of members of the congress would choose the nominees of the political parties. This system did not allow any chance of voting or nominating. The full power was with the caucus members of the congress and they mostly were partial. This policy was then also known as "King Caucus".
