Answer: political corruption and wealth disparity

Explanation:

This was the Gilded Age. Rich white men were finding oil and making insane amounts of money; they were building railroads  and seemed to rule America, as the government was rife with corruption. So populism, which was rule by the majority of the people (and not just a select few corrupt government officials), became popular because the people were outraged against this corruption.

They wanted to band together because it was so polarized between them and the rich ruling class.

Who was a popular soverighty

I'm thinking your question means to ask, "<em><u>What</u></em><em> is popular sovereignty?"</em>

"Popular sovereignty" means the people are in charge of establishing a government over themselves.  

The founding fathers of the United States adopted the idea of popular sovereignty from Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke (of England) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (of France).

The Declaration of Independence (1776), written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, asserted the concept of popular sovereignty.  The Declaration insisted that people institute governments in order to secure their rights, and that governments get their authority from the consent of the governed.  "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends," the Declaration of Independence said, "it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
