Question 1 • CA-United States History and Geography A

The People’s Party was founded to

Answer
A
compete with labor unions, such as the Knights of Labor.
B
be a Populist alternative to the Democratic and Republican Parties.
C
ensure that deflation didn’t cause too much damage to the overall economy.

Explanation

The People’s Party, also called the Populist Party, was founded in the 1890s to represent farmers and other reformers who felt ignored by the major parties. It offered a Populist alternative to the Democrats and Republicans. It did not form to compete with labor unions, and preventing economic damage from deflation was not its founding purpose.
