For an elected official to serve as a "delegate" means that the voters of that state or district want the person they elect to represent their interests.  They're not saying, "We voted for you because we trust you to do what's best for us."  They're saying, "We've indicated to you what we want and need for this state or district, so we want you to go to Congress and work for those things on our behalf."

When voters feel this way, elected officials will feel they must carry out the will of the voters in their state or district or risk being removed from office when the next election occurs.  Since representatives to the House serve only two year terms, while members of the Senate serve six year terms, you can expect the delegate theory will affect the US House representatives more immediately and prominently.  Their actions in office will still be fresh in memory when the next election cycle occurs.  Senators have a longer time to establish a track record that will earn the trust of their constituents.

This is a question given with Jennings Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

1. Jefferson supported bimetallism (ethos appeal)

2. It benefited small town farmers who took out loans to pay for their homes and farms.  

3. Money is relative. If we say something has value, it does. Gold is only seen as valuable because it always has.

4. International Bimetallism  is already practiced.

Explanation:

This powerful speech secured Bryan's seat as a presidential candidate and an advocate for the Populist's party in the upcoming election. He uses rhetoric to push beyond people's tradition and embrace bimetallism in this speech, something which was later achieved.

What actions by the British led to American resentment?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) American Indian aid

and

D) Impressment

Explanation:

Even after the Independence of the American colonies, their relationship with Great Britain was always shaky. Things came to a new low when the British decided to aid native Indian tribes who wanted more sovereignty from Washington DC.

Also, impressment was when British naval ships would travel across the Eastern US shores and force young men into service. Not only was it illegal, it was making it very difficult for the United States to build a proper Navy.

Both these were seen as aggressive and increased American resentment of the British.
