Answer 2

Increased taxes on imported goods

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect answer. The correct economic cause of the War of 1812 was the impressment of American sailors by the British. British naval vessels would stop American merchant ships and seize American sailors, forcing them to serve in the British navy. This practice violated American sovereignty and led to tensions between the two countries, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of war in 1812.
