Best Answer

The government of the late 19th century was very inactive in meeting the needs of citizens. There were a number of weak presidents and Congress was both disorderly as well as ineffective. Campaigns were filled with bribery, fraud and character assassination. Voter turnout was at an all time high and resulted in a number of very close elections and an equal balance of power. As a result, several popular movements of protest sprung up that impacted key elections. One group, the Populists, turned dissatisfaction with the government into an important third party.

How did popular religion differ from institutional religion in 18th century?

In the 18th century, popular religion was more diverse, flexible, and personalized compared to the more formal and structured practices of institutional religion. Popular religion often incorporated folk traditions, superstitions, and local customs, while institutional religion was characterized by established doctrines, hierarchies, and formalized rituals. The two coexisted but served different functions for individuals and communities.
