Answer
A
to secure Daley’s nomination.
B
to end all political parties.
C
to make changes to the election system.
D
to secure Humphrey’s nomination.

Explanation

Many protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention opposed the Vietnam War and objected to how the party selected its presidential nominee. They wanted the nomination process to be more open and representative, which meant making changes to the election system. Daley was Chicago’s mayor, not a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination.
