Answer: Don’t quote this word for word change it up to sound like your own writing.

The Democratic party favored the unlimited coinage of silver at the traditional ration of 16 oz to 1 oz of gold. After blaming the Democrats for the Panic of 1893, Republicans offered the American people the promise of a strong and prosperous industrial nation. The republicans proposed a high tariff to protect industry and upheld the gold standard against unlimited coinage of silver. In the election of 1896, William McKinley went up against William Jennings Bryan. Bryan was hurt by a rise in wheat prices, which made farmers desperate, and employers telling their workers the factories would be shut down if Bryan was elected. It marked the end of the statement and settlement that had characterized politics in the Gilded Age. The defeat of Bryan and the Populist free-silver movement initiated an era of Republican dominance of the presidency and of both houses of Congress. The election was a victory for big business, urban centers, conservative economics, and moderate, middle-class dominance in American politics.

Which is an example of a conservative view of government?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

I'm going to assume you mean "conservative view of government" in modern American politics.  If so, the best answer would be:

<h2>A) The government should protect individuals' freedoms.</h2>

In American political life, "conservatism" means wanting to conserve and preserve the ideals of the founding fathers of the country.  So a primary concern is the protection of the "inalienable rights" of citizens (to quote a phrase from the Declaration of Independence).

Further explanation:

Be aware that the term "conservative" has meant different things at different times in history.  In 19th century Europe, "conservative" and "liberal" were first coming into vogue as terms for political viewpoints. What "conservative" and "liberal" meant then was different from what those terms mean in politics today.  19th century conservatives wanted to conserve and preserve the historic traditions of government and society. For societies like France and elsewhere on the continent of Europe, that meant going back to monarchs in control of government, as things had been before the French Revolution. Liberals were those who favored liberty for individuals, with greater rights and freedoms.

America was founded on the ideas and ideals of 18th and century movements that leaned in the direction of liberalism -- or the promotion of individual liberties.  So in America's context today, being "conservative" tends to mean preserving those libertarian roots from the time of our country's founding.
