The correct response is: **The tariff allowed manufacturers in the North to charge higher prices for their products.**
Hamilton's protective tariff was designed to shield Northern industries from foreign competition by imposing taxes on imported goods. This made imported products more expensive, allowing Northern manufacturers to charge higher prices for their domestically produced goods, thus benefiting the Northern economy.
