Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The platform also called for a graduated income tax, direct election of Senators, a shorter workweek, restrictions on immigration to the United States, and public ownership of railroads and communication lines. The Populists appealed most strongly to voters in the South, the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountains.
Detailed explanation-2: -Populism often entails presenting “the people” as the underdog. Populists typically seek to reveal to “the people” how they are oppressed. In doing so, they do not seek to change “the people", but rather seek to preserve the latter’s “way of life” as it presently exists, regarding it as a source of good.
