Answer 1

The Populist Party (also known as the People's Party) was a short-lived political party in the United States in the late 19th century. It flourished particularly among western farmers, based largely on its opposition to the gold standard. Although the party did not remain a lasting feature of the political landscape, many of its positions have become adopted over the course of the following decades. The crux of the party's platform — the democratization of the nation's economic/finance system — was not implemented, however. The very term "populist" has since become a generic term in U.S. politics for politics which appeals to the common person in opposition to established interests.

Answer 2

<1>populism(in the dictionary)-1:a supporter of rights and power of the people, 2: a supporter of the populist party.(not dictionary)the populists tended to promise a lot to the people, but could not, within their limits provide. they tended to contradict themselves saying that they would (ie.) promise greater welfare, but at the same time, lower budget deficinces. They were also known as the "people party". their demise, was that they couldnt provide(as i said) all that they promised and in turn sort of dissapointed the people
<2>an innovation would be the gold rush(i think). virtually everyone went to california, ect. for the gold rush, and in turn big urban and metrtropolis(sp) areas were made, if u mean from in the past. i cant really think of any "new" ideas. i know that alot of cities were made in the olden days, in Minnesota, people made cities around lakes, places of plentiful food, and railroad stops, because railroads were also a source of food.(im from Minnesota so, yeah.......)

Answer 3

All to say: Populism was the last people's movement which told the truth about past and present -- told the truth about the present in order to unlock the past; unlocked the past in order to see the truth about the present. Populism was not about ending "corruption" or "excess." It was about ending private governance which had been the rule -- private governance first by a slave owning class, and then by a corporate class. It was about stopping public officials from using law and armed force to enable the few to deny the many. So the reason a "resurgent conservatism" in the late 1970s galloped so quickly and successfully was that the New Deal, and then the Fair Deal -- along with post WWII liberal theology and civic organizing -- did not contest the corporate class' authority to use the law of the land to govern. ( u can summarize it with ur own words)


The time will come when New York will be built up, when all the grading and filling will be done, and when the picturesquely-varied, rocky formation of the Island will have been converted into the foundations for rows of monotonous straight streets, and piles of erect, angular buildings. There will be no suggestion left of its present varied surface, with the single exception of the few acres contained in the Park. Then the priceless value of the present picturesque outlines of the ground will be more distinctly perceived, and its adaptability for its purpose more fully recognized. It therefore seems desirable to interfere with its easy, undulating outlines, and picturesque, rocky serenity as little as possible, and, on the other hand, to endeavor rapidly, and by every legitimate means, to increase and judiciously develop these particularly individual and characteristic sources of landscape effects.
