Step-by-step explanation:

The Populist Party wanted to override the "Crime of 1873" which were some guidelines enacted to forbid the free silver movement. The other main goals eventually were implemented throughout other political movements.

The Populist Party managed to become itself as a third alternative within the two-party fixture of the United States in the first years of twetieth century.

Answer 2

Free silver movement was a main goal of the Populist Party that was not eventually enacted.

Explanation:

The Populist Party had on both its manifesto and its agenda to start the free silver movement which was intended at commencing a new monetary unit by reserving equal quantities of gold and silver and using the silver to trade in the market.

The populist party wished to enact this bimetallic policy of coinage but was never successful.
