A. He fought to tighten immigration limits.
B. He supported the direct election of senators.
C. He advocated strongly for bimetallism.
D. He opposed government support for farmers.
Answer:
D. He opposed government support for farmers.
Explanation:
The election of 1896 was just as much a partisan battle over the future of American economic policy as the 2012 election. On this day in 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his rousing speech as a delegate to the Democratic convention declaring that mankind would not be “crucified on a cross of gold.” In the speech, Bryan, who was from the western farming state of Nebraska, advocated the inclusion of a silver standard for U.S. currency, which rallied the populist base of the Democratic Party and helped Bryan win the nomination for the presidency.
To take a step back in history, the source of the issue began with the Gold Rush in 1849, which altered the bi-metallism status quo. For decades, both gold and silver backed U.S. currency and both silver and gold species could be turned into a Sub-Treasury Mint for dollars. The government valued silver at a ratio of 16:1 to gold in ounces. With the flood of gold to the market following the Gold Rush, people could sell their silver privately and to foreign markets at a lower ratio, thus making more money. However, when silver was discovered in Nevada in the 1860s, the ratio of silver to gold sold privately or abroad increased, but the government continued to offer the 16:1 ratio. In short, the government policy increased currency circulation, benefitting westerners, rural farmers, and the poor who could more easily pay off debts or make purchases. Meanwhile, Wall Street and banks in the East mobilized against the government’s policy because they would not receive as much profit on loans to farmers and the poor.
However, by 1873, the flood of silver into government coffers created an economic crisis. Congress responded by passing the Coinage Act of 1873, which effectively ended bi-metallism by eliminating the silver dollar and by making gold the only metallic standard (though the U.S. did not accept the Gold Standard de jure until 1900). Western miners and farmers termed it the “Crime of 1873.” Their “Free Silver” movement became a core constituency of the Democratic Party, represented by William Jennings Bryan.
A clear partisan divide in the elections of 1896 and 1900 centered on the bi-metallism debate. Republican candidate William McKinley blamed the Democrats and their platform of bi-metallism for the Panic of 1893, while Republicans and Eastern banking interests called the gold standard “sound money” policy. One article of campaign propaganda is illustrative: McKinley’s campaign issued fake dollar bills that read “In God We Trust…for the Other 53 Cents” to argue that the dollar backed by silver would only be worth 47 cents. Another campaign poster linked the Republican Party’s gold coin as “sound money” policy to the beneficial aspects of the party’s protectionist policy compared to the detrimental impact of the Democratic Party’s free trade policy.
In the “Cross of Gold” speech, Bryan argued that the Democratic Party’s focus on bi-metallism in its platform was justified because a gold standard alone could not solve the country’s problems at the time, including debt, small business failure, and monopolies. According to Bryan, if silver was restored, “all other necessary reforms will be possible.” He compared the situation to fights over the national bank, arguing that “What we need is an Andrew Jackson to stand, as Jackson stood, against the encroachments of organized wealth.” In the speech, Bryan also connects the Democratic Party’s tradition since Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson against moneyed interests in favor of the little guy. Bryan favored a regulatory role for government in issuing money and called for banks to “go out of the governing business.”
The excerpt from the “Cross of Gold” speech below resounds with populist rhetoric, though the speech itself took the wind out of the Populist Party’s sails, rallying supporters to the Democratic Party. The excerpt also links the issue to the Democratic Party’s position on international trade.

By the time of the 1828 presidential election, a new ______ had begun to emerge out of the divisions within the Republican Party.
Based on historical perspective, by the time of the 1828 presidential election, a new Two-party system had begun to emerge out of the divisions within the Republican Party.
This is because, during the 1828 presidential election, one of the major parties was the Democratic-Republican party which split into two-party systems.
The two major parties the Democratic-Republic split into are the modern-day Democratic Party and the Whig Party.
The Whig party would later break into factions, forming alliances to become the present-day Republican Party.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is a "Two-party system."
