1. For the definition “a money system in which a government recognizes coins composed of both gold or silver as legal money”, the term is Bimetallism. This is because the very definition of bimetallism is a monetary system that uses two metals (gold and silver) as legal tender.
2. For “a money system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold only”, the answer is Gold Standard. The gold standard is a monetary system where the value of a country's money is tied directly to gold.
3. For “one of the most famous in Populist group, he argued for bimetallism in his speech 'Cross of Gold'”, it's William J Bryan. His “Cross of Gold” speech was a well - known advocacy for bimetallism within the Populist movement.
4. For “a group who had a range of political stances that emphasize the idea of 'the people' and often contrast this group against 'the elite'”, the term is Populism. Populism is centered around the idea of representing “the people” against an alleged “elite”.
5. For “known as THE progressive president with his square deal, three Cs conservatism, consumers, corporations, trust buster”, it's Theodore Roosevelt. He was a prominent progressive president with the “Square Deal” and was known for trust - busting and the three - C approach.
6. For “sixteenth amendment created a federal income tax, seventeenth amendment authorized the direct election of senators, expanded U.S. foreign trade through investment in what became known as 'dollar diplomacy'”, the answer is William H. Taft. Taft was associated with the implementation of these amendments and the “dollar diplomacy” foreign policy approach.
7. For “expose corruption, regulate the economy, eliminate unethical business practices, and improve the general condition of society”, it's Progressivism. Progressivism is a political and social movement aimed at reforming society by addressing these very issues.
8. For “Amendment - Allowed the government to tax income”, it's the 16th Amendment. The 16th Amendment to the US Constitution gave the government the power to levy an income tax.
9. For “Amendment - Allowed the people to vote for their senators”, it's the 17th Amendment. The 17th Amendment established the direct election of United States senators by the people.
10. For “Terence V. Powderly led, their goals were to bring together skilled and unskilled workers together and help them gain better wages, work hours, and safety regulations...”, the term is Knights of Labor. The Knights of Labor, under Powderly's leadership, aimed to organize both skilled and unskilled workers for better working conditions.
11. For “initially only allowed skilled workers their goals were economic security for its members, collective bargaining rights...”, it's American Federation of Labor. The American Federation of Labor initially focused on skilled workers and fought for economic security and collective bargaining.
12. For “a political and economic system in which property and the means of production are owned/controlled by the state or government”, it's Socialism. Socialism is defined by state or government ownership and control of the means of production.
