le free dictionary indique pour "to acclaim ": 2 to declare (someone) ruler, winner etc by enthusiastic approval They acclaimed him king. acclamer

Le Harraps dit: Charlemagne was acclaimed emperor => Charlemagne fut acclamé, proclamé, empereur

Pour moi, je fais la disctinction entre acclamer et proclamer: on peut être proclamé par décret. La proclamation se passe alors d'acclamations...
Par contraste, être "acclamé" implique bien une foule active, qui est ici "le peuple".
Pour moi, le peuple n'a rien à proclamer, il ne peut qu'acclamer. Seul un corps constitué peut proclamer.

Quant à la forme de l'acclamation, on peut acclamer "comme" ou "pour" ou acclamer tout court, selon le contexte.
