What three affects did the Populist Party have on American politics?

Question

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Answer 1

Here are two effects:

"The populist party may not have survived but some of their ideas did. For instance taking a look at the U.S. Constitution, the 16th ammendment allows the federal government to levy an income tax. Or the 17th ammendment which provides for the direct, popular election of senators."

And here's a previous "Best Answer" to the same question:

The Populist Party stirred things up. Having 'saved' the Union and Preserved America's Freedom by 'their' actions during America's not so Civil War, The Republican Party adopted an attitude that they were America's only legit party and begrudgingly acepted the Democrats as America's well meaning but misguided opposition party. This is still the Republican Party's position as of 2007

The Populist Party of the 1880s and 90s forced The Reopublican Party to address issues such issues as unfair labor practices and the issue of America's monetery system. In modern terms the Republicans co-opted the Populist Message..

""The People's party, more commonly known as the Populist party, was organized in St. Louis in 1892 to represent the common folk—especially farmers—against the entrenched interests of railroads, bankers, processers, corporations, and the politicians in league with such interests. At its first national convention in Omaha in July 1892, the party nominated James K. Weaver for president and ratified the so-called Omaha Platform, drafted by Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota."
