The first option is incorrect. The protective tariff on domestic industries would have made imported goods more expensive, not goods produced in the North.
The correct answer is that the Northern States were in favor of Hamilton's protective tariff because it encouraged closer ties with European nations. This is because the tariff aimed to protect American industries from foreign competition by imposing taxes on imported goods. By doing so, it made American-made products more competitive in the domestic market, promoting the growth of domestic industries.
The second option is incorrect as it mentions promoting agricultural growth and helping farmers, which was not the primary focus of the protective tariff.
The fourth option is also incorrect as it states that the tariff reduced taxes for merchants and traders, boosting their profits. In reality, the protective tariff imposed taxes on imported goods, which would likely increase the cost of goods for merchants and traders.
Why were Northern States in favor of Hamilton's protective tariff on domestic industries? • It made goods produced in the North less expensive than imported goods • It promoted agricultural growth and helped farmers in the region • It encouraged closer ties with European nations, • It reduced taxes for merchants and traders, boosting their profits
