(select all the options) that were part of the populist party’s platform •greater regulation of business •political power in the hands of the people •emphasis on the gold standard •tax reductions •free silver movement •less regulation of business

The correct answers are greater regulation of business, political power in the hands of the people, tax reductions and free silver movement.  

- The Populist's Party considered that the government should take the role of owning and managing all railroads (via a federal appropriation of the railroad's system) to have a more regulatory role over the power of bankers and railroad magnates over this transportation system.  

- Another major point was the popular election of U.S. Senators. During that time, senators were chosen by the state legislatures, and not by the people's vote, a factor that allowed business lobbies to excerpt influence over the selection of these officials. They also sponsored a reform of the legislative system to include the referendum and recall as a chance of having a more direct voice on how the country was being run.  

- "The Omaha Platform: Policies for the common man" also calls for the implementation of a Graduated Income Tax. The party considered that the income resulted from this contribution was going to allow the reduction of the burden that was placed upon domestic industries.  

- At last, the group also known as the "Silverites" called for the free and unlimited coinage of silver to achieve three things: Ending the nation's economic crisis, allowing the wealth to reach a more significant portion of the population, and decreasing the value of money, causing deflation.
