Answer 1

William Jennings Bryan rose to prominence in the late 19th century due to a combination of social and economic factors, including the agrarian discontent fueled by falling crop prices and increasing debt among farmers. Additionally, the growing labor movement and a push for monetary reform, particularly the demand for the free coinage of silver, resonated with the disenfranchised working class and rural populations, positioning Bryan as a champion of their struggles against the industrial elite.
