Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The tariff had less of an effect on businesses in the North than it did on those in the South.

Northern states generally supported Hamilton's protective tariff because it benefited their manufacturing industries by imposing duties on imported goods, making those goods more expensive and less competitive compared to domestically produced products. This gave Northern manufacturers an advantage in the market. In contrast, the South relied more on imported goods and agriculture, so the tariff had a more detrimental effect on their economy.
