Answer 1

William Jennings Bryan based his candidacy for president in easy money policies, tending to the emission of currency to counteract the effects of the Panic of 1893.

Bryan was a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America on three occasions: in 1896, 1900 and 1908. In all these presidential elections he was defeated by the Republican candidates: first by William McKinley and then by William Taft.

The presidential campaigns of Bryan were extremely striking, because in all the occasions that he presented his candidacy he maintained a high popular support thanks to doctrines and ideas that were supported by a large percentage of society. Bryan held openly populist ideas for his time, and decisively influenced the Democratic Party to abandon the principles of laissez faire and partially embrace state interventionism.
