Answer 1

The correct answer is: **The tariff allowed manufacturers in the North to charge higher prices for their products.**

Northern states favored Hamilton's protective tariff because it helped protect their emerging industries from foreign competition by making imported goods more expensive. This allowed Northern manufacturers to charge higher prices for their products without losing customers to cheaper imports.
