multiple choice 5 points
what was not a part of henry clay’s american system?
internal improvements
abolishing state governments
national bank
protective tariffs

Explanation:

1. The Missouri Compromise dealt with the balance of free - and slave - states, not the economy. The Monroe Doctrine was about foreign policy, warning European powers against interference in the Americas. The American System was an economic plan by Henry Clay that aimed to strengthen the U.S. economy through internal improvements, a national bank, and protective tariffs. The New Deal was a set of programs in the 1930s to combat the Great Depression. So, for the first question, the American System aimed to strengthen the U.S. economy.
2. Henry Clay's American System included internal improvements to connect the nation, a national bank to stabilize the currency and credit, and protective tariffs to protect American industries. Abolishing state governments was not part of it.

Answer:

1. C. American System
2. B. Abolishing state governments
