The correct answers are greater regulation of business, political power in the hands of the people, tax reductions and free silver movement.
- The Populist's Party considered that the <em>government should take the role of owning and managing all railroads</em> (via a federal appropriation of the railroad's system) to have a more regulatory role over the power of bankers and railroad magnates over this transportation system.
- Another major point was the <em>popular election of U.S. Senators</em>. During that time, senators were chosen by the state legislatures, and not by the people's vote, a factor that allowed business lobbies to excerpt influence over the selection of these officials. They also sponsored a reform of the legislative system to include the referendum and recall as a chance of having a more direct voice on how the country was being run.
- "The Omaha Platform: Policies for the common man" also calls for the <em>implementation of a Graduated Income Tax</em>. The party considered that the income resulted from this contribution was going to allow the <em>reduction of the burden that was placed upon domestic industries</em>.
- At last, the group also known as the "Silverites" called for the <em>free and unlimited coinage of silver </em>to achieve three things: Ending the nation's economic crisis, allowing the wealth to reach a more significant portion of the population, and decreasing the value of money, causing deflation.

They have set up every thing
When the Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation, they did not want to enforce taxes on the new states because they did not want to be like Britain. The Articles of Confederation granted the states the right to tax if they wanted to, however it was not a federal law that the federal government tax the states. Given the fact that the states could choose if they wanted to tax or not, it is not surprising that they chose not to tax, causing the United States to go further into debt. This is also one of the main reasons why the Articles of Confederation failed. The debt led them to over print money which led to inflation and also the fact that there was no national currency (each state could make their own money) really helped.
