Explanation:

First Question (Why were northern states in favor of Hamilton’s protective tariff?):

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: A protective tariff imposes taxes on imported goods. This makes imported products more expensive, so northern - produced goods (which face less foreign competition due to the tariff - induced higher import prices) become relatively less expensive. This would benefit northern manufacturers and businesses, so this option is correct.
• Option 2: A protective tariff is about imports, not exports. It doesn't protect manufacturers from export fees, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The tariff's effect on North vs. South businesses isn't the main reason for northern support. The key is the advantage in domestic market due to import price increase, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: While the tariff might allow some price increase, the primary effect is making northern goods more competitive (less expensive relative to imports) rather than just charging higher prices. The first option better explains the favor.

We analyze each option:

• Option 1: Hamilton's financial plan, which included a national bank and favorable treatment for creditors (many of whom were wealthy), was seen by Democratic - Republicans as favoring the wealthy and increasing the power of the federal government in a way that would benefit the elite. This aligns with their opposition, so this option is correct.
• Option 2: Hamilton's plan had little to do with the threat to slavery in the South. Slavery was more of a regional and later political - sectional issue, and Hamilton's financial plan didn't target it, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Hamilton's debt plan was to assume both state and national debts, not just national debts, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Hamilton's financial plan (like the tariff) was more about domestic finance (debt, bank, etc.) than directly about trade relations with other nations, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

The tariff made products produced in the North less expensive than imported products.
