The populist movement, which emerged in the late 19th century, significantly influenced American politics by advocating for the interests of common citizens, particularly farmers and laborers, against the elite. It led to the formation of the People's Party and introduced key reforms such as the direct election of senators and the implementation of progressive taxation. The movement also set the stage for future political activism and laid the groundwork for later reform movements, ultimately shaping the Democratic Party's platform in the early 20th century. Its legacy continues to resonate in contemporary discussions around economic inequality and populism.
