WHY D

The Populists or People's Party challenged the Bourbons by believing that economic power was held by merchants and lawyers in the cities, rather than by the rural population. This posed a challenge to the Bourbon's control over Georgia politics because the Populists sought to mobilize and represent the interests of the rural population, which was not aligned with the Bourbon elite. The Populists' focus on advocating for farmers and rural issues threatened the political dominance of the Bourbons, who were largely aligned with urban and business interests. Therefore, the Populists' challenge to the Bourbons' control over economic power and their attempt to mobilize rural voters was one of the challenges the Bourbons faced in their efforts to control Georgia politics.

o is that a challenge that the Bourbons did or did NOT face?

Apologies for the confusion. To clarify, the challenge posed by the Populists or People's Party, who believed that economic power was held by merchants and lawyers in the cities, was indeed a challenge that the Bourbons faced in their efforts to control Georgia politics. The Populists contested the existing power structure and sought to represent the interests of the rural population, which threatened the Bourbon elite who were aligned with urban and business interests. Therefore, the correct answer is that the Bourbons did face this challenge.
