What role did the gold/silver question play in the election of 1896? Who was in favor of silver, and how did they view the country

Efforts to induce inflation into the American economy, the panacea of debtors, had been present from earliest times. In 1837, Congress established a relationship between silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 (meaning that 16 ounces of silver were to be equal in value to one ounce of gold).

( sorry my answer is short they wont let me do just war so ignore this) xd

during the 20th century, the role of the vice president has evolved into more of an executive branch position. now, the vice president is usually seen as an integral part of a president's administration and presides over the senate only on ceremonial occasions or when a tie-breaking vote may be needed.
