In order to encourage internal economic development, Congress passed which of the following in 1816?
  1. Funding for a national network of roads and canals
  2. The bill permitting the establishment of a navy
  3. Taxes or manufactured goods from England
  4. Tariffs on imported goods that could be produced domestically
  5. Restrictions on imports of available goods
Explanation
Answer: D - Congress created tariffs on the import of goods that could be produced domestically in the hopes that this additional fee would discourage merchants from importing similar items from abroad. The Embargo Acts and the problems with trade preceded the War of 1812 had helped American industry develop. This law further supported these efforts by regulating the market in domestic production's favor.
