  • A. The Republican Party made policies that supported big business.
  • B. The Democratic Party wanted to create more upward mobility for people.  
  • D. The Democratic Party understood the economy from the point of view of workers and farmers.

William Jennings Bryan was a leading member of the Democratic party who ran for President several times. Going by what he said in his "Cross of Gold" speech, he believed:

  • that the Republicans only made laws that favored big business and the wealthy in the hopes that wealth would trickle down to the poor
  • that the Democratic party would pass laws for all classes which would allow for lower classes to move up
  • that the Democratic party saw the perspective of the common people such as workers and farmers and wanted them to succeed.

We can conclude that William Jennings Bryan led the Democratic Party at a time when it supported the common people. Sadly however, he never for the support he needed to become President.
