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.

Why was the wilmot proviso divisive to congress ?
Katen [24]
<span>a. Southern congressmen opposed the banning of slavery from the new territories

</span><span>Northern states and southern states were at odds over the potential spread of slavery in new states and what that would do to the balance of power in Congress.  <span>
In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico.  His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery.  Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.  The Compromise of 1850, a package of five bills passed by Congress in September of that year, sought to accommodate some of the issues both South and North were debating over during those years.  But we know that war over the slavery issue was yet to come.</span></span>

1. In your opinion, why do we need to defend the customary experience inherited from generations?
GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation: Since its asking for my personal opinion i will give you my response.

I think that we should obey the govs laws bc they are there to make sure we are safe. If there were not rules in place then this country would be a mess. (America.) I'm not saying all the rules are okay. Some shouldn't be there but they are sadly.
