The Commerce Clause serves a two-fold purpose: it is the direct source of the most important powers that the Federal Government exercises in peacetime, and, except for the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, it is the most important limitation imposed by the Constitution on the exercise of state power. The latter, restrictive operation of the clause was long the more important one from the point of view of the constitutional lawyer. Of the approximately 1400 cases that reached the Supreme Court under the clause prior to 1900, the overwhelming proportion stemmed from state legislation.663 The result was that, generally, the guiding lines in construction of the clause were initially laid down in the context of curbing state power rather than in that of its operation as a source of national power. The consequence of this historical progression was that the word “commerce” came to dominate the clause while the word “regulate” remained in the background. The so-called “constitutional revolution” of the 1930s, however, brought the latter word to its present prominence.

Answer: William Jennings Bryan
Explanation:
William Jennings Bryan was a Nebraska politician who was nominated by his party, the Democratic party, to be their Presidential nominee in 1896 after he gave a rousing speech which today is known as the Cross of Gold speech in support of the bimetal/silver standard.
The standard called for the use of both gold and silver to back the American dollar as opposed to using just gold and was strongly supported by the lower and some middle class. The standard however would have brought high inflation as well as making it harder for the US to trade with other countries.
William Jennings lost the election and the US continued with the gold standard.
