C. A policy of bimetallism that would help farmers by increasing inflation and raising crop prices.

William Jennings Bryan supported bimetallism meaning a standard for US currency based on gold and silver. There was more silver available than gold which would have allowed for the creation of more currency and create inflation. In doing so, farmers would have more currency to pay for their loans because prices for farm goods would go up.

The goal of bimetallism was introduced by Populist Party. To gain the support of the Populist Party and to have a fighting chance at winning, the Democratic Party took bimetallism as a political goal for the 1896 election. Bryan's Cross of Gold speech is one of his most famous and explains the reasoning for adding silver to the currency standard of the US and how it could help American workers and farmers.

Ut yourself in the place of one of the lawmakers in 1787. You are present to represent your state. At the end, you realize that
Rashid [163]

Dear neighbor.

I would like to inform you that the constitution has finally been established in our country and that this brings good and bad news which I will inform you in this letter.

Among the good news we will have a strong central government, which will be able to efficiently manage the government throughout the territory, centralizing the economy and an army that will be stronger and better equipped. However, the states, and this is the part that may be disadvantageous for us, had to commit to positioning itself in submission to this central government, that is, we will maintain this type of government, paying the taxes that it stipulates, following the laws that this stipulates, having representation as it stipulates and having the economy regulated by it.

Its like a tyrannical system, but it is a rich man that we run to develop the country. In addition, most states will commit to this system, which does not allow foreign funds.

Sincerely

J.K.
